    I guess i'm ol' school...Put a Ford in a Ford, a Chev in a Chev....I had a friend recently put an LS2 out of a newer GTO into a Fox Mustang and i still don't get why not a Ford when you can build as much power

    Hmmmm, I wonder if that's the guy that was doing the turbo 460 swap? looks like the same car (from what I can see) and at one time it had a turbo 2.3 in it...

    Because the power this engine will be making would split a 302 block right in half :yup:

    Of course I'd be cool to see a Ford, but at least he's keeping it domestic'

    It's his car he'll do what he wants , like you'll do what you want (y)

    I don't like chevy's but I have a soft spot for LS motors....

    as soon as the new 5.0's become affordable that'll change :D

    But i don't see that happening till like five years from now.

    But they ain't using stock blocks...... :bouncy:

    unless you mean the mod motors ;)

    I think you missed the 76mm turbo, which can support 800 wheel horspower/1,000@fly.

    A 302 is a time bomb once you pass the 500 HP number at the flywheel.
