I'd love to tare through a block with you. I've never done it so it'd be a fantastic learning experience. What would we be looking at and trying to cost effectively improve. I think Joe said it only had about 5,000 miles on it and it was all forged. Please clarify Joe.

Doing a 302 is childs play. A very easy block to work on. I haven't done onw since the 80's but not a problem. Actually you should do it. Get the book on how to rebuild Small Block Ford. I'll hold your hand.

Would we necessarily need to change the cam to be appropriate to the heads, or might the one that's in there work just fine.



Cost is the controlling limiting factor. But I have *some* flexibility here because it's such a critical component to making reliable power. Let's think on the order of <=$1,000, preferably a lot less than
All this is food for thought. But, no matter what you deside "WE" will make it work. Hell, I have built a $12.00 engine that ran a best 11.93.
