    well its a 1989 302 roller with e-7 heads off of a 85 ho 302 and a ford racing e-303 cam topped off with a holley 600cfm vacum secondary carb.the heads have had some work done to them.hopefully this winter i can get the motor dynoed. but im hoping for around 300 hp.i think im close but if not i will add a few things to get there.
