    looks very cool as a sleeper. you might want to kill the rust before it gets bad though and prime it.:Welcome:

    What heads / manifold / Pistons did you use on the 302? I've thought about building a "streetboss" but havnt talked to anyone who has done it, but my spare 2v heads shure look good sitting on a 302 block.

    Its a 302 block and crank, 289 rods (5.155") trw boss 302 pistons, 2V open chamber cleveland heads. B&A ford performance street boss intake.

    For what it would cost a person to come up with an intake and a set of matching pistons you are miles ahead by just buying a modern set of aluminum inline valve heads.

    Engines like these used to be hot ticket before the aluminum heads started coming around in the late 80's early 90's. My dad built this engine in the early 90's so it has been around for a while.

    There's nothing quite like the feeling(for me anyway)of absolutely blistering a fast "appearing/sounding" car with a car that "looks like it should be on it's way to the shredder"(the way some guys described my old 4dr one night at the track).Have fun with the import crowd.
