No. What he meant was AFTER the 302 is built he will put in his FOX body to run it for us. Sort of test run--or runs. Like I said; Isn't that nice.

 Giving us the 351 heads would be nice. I can blow up the motor on test runs all by myself.

He should probably test it to see how long it will last too before it needs to be rebuilt. It's kind of like the old Tootsie Pop commercial with the owl. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop, The world will never know. |

Ignition System
I want to clear as many items as early as possible. While the engine might take on some slightly different configurations, I don't imagine the ignition system will change all that much. With an eye towards performance value, what should I be looking for for this engine regarding distributor, coil, etc.

Trans Axle and Tires
Assuming the 4 speed wide ratio top loader, a 3.73 axle and 255/60x15 tires, here's what we're looking at for rpm vs. mph. I'm thinking a 6,000 to 6,500 rpm redline here. Let me know if you have some other axle and tire sires you want me to plug in.

I also don't think there is a need to go through the bottom end with only 5000 miles but it wouldn't hurt to pull a rod and main bearing just to make sure they look good.

The engine seemed to quit making power ~ 5500 RPM, but I'm sure that is because it was choked down; stock exhaust manifolds, 2" exhaust, small ports and valves on the heads. I think that shortblock will hold up to about 550 - 600 HP. Much more than that at these blocks start splitting without further work.
I agree that the bottom end doesn't need to be gone through, but checking the bearings would be wise. Won't take much effort.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Good to know, let's get some good heads and shoot for 12 psi. With headers, good tune, etc. I'm guessing we could hit the 500BHP level, which should be stupid plenty in a 2,700lbs +- car.
