I have started gathering parts to build a large journal 302. This is the engine this car needs to really work. The 350 is made to move a truck, where as a 302 makes the best balance of HP and torque. Ya the parts are expensive about 3 times the cost of a 350 but you only live once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I'll keep you V-8 guys posted! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) Well I chickened out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Looking at the cost was one factor but mostly I built this car to be a nice driver. For now I am going with a G.M. crate long block and use my heads and a different cam. This will cost under 2K and work perfect for everyday driving. I will however be sourcing the other parts for the 302 and maybe in a year or so it will be ready. You guys know and have said 8k is hard on a small block and can get expensive. Funny thing is my wife is all for it but I had to draw the line for now...
