tall deck 8.700 dart block

anybody ever tried a tall deck dart 302 block in a maverick? just wondering about fitment issues. thanks

 

It'll be a half inch shorter than a 351W block.

 

just curious, what's your plans with it?

 

It will be a 1/2 inch shorter than the Cleveland and .780 or .800 shorter than a 351W

 

im getting ready to start building a motor for my maverick and i have been considering doing a 363ci motor out of that block. any ideas are welcome.

 

I'm watching this since bryant and I are considering a dart block for our next engine build. don't know if we are going with a 302 or 351 though.

 

i hope to get this underway pretty soon. should be a fun little motor.

 

what heads and cam are you thinking about running and where do you think the hp range is gonna be?

 

good luck that is the block i plan to use on my engine swap but i want to do everything else first to my mav since it had an engine swap 16000miles ago when i bought the car.
Dart makes a good top end kit for it http://www.dartheads.com/products/top-end-kits/small-block-ford-top-end-kits

 

the cam will be a custom from LSM camshafts. Im not 100% sure what heads i wana run yet. i have been looking at a couple different ones, RHS Pro Action Aluminum 200 and 215cc heads, and some from afr and trickflow. i will talk to my engine builder and LSM cams to see what they recomend. as far as hp im not real sure what to expect since its gana be a street/strip motor with around 10.5 to 1
