SpeedDemon Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 so i might be picking up a 79 mustang notchback, only 2 dents on drivers door and one spot of rust the size of a quarter. its got a 4cyl and a auto, but ive got a truck with a 302 that could go in . car only had 37,000 miles too lol, still has the factory plastic on the floorboards. so if i get his my dads 89 si hatch will be up for sale ....or maybe i could use that windsor 351...........................

DelSolSweetie Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ^try to get a c4 alot of mustang owners prefer the c4 over the c6.. i think they are lighter (dont hold me to that) along with a couple other better things.. but you cant beat 100 bucks lol... i have a built 302 with a brand new c4 and a 8.8 rearend in my truck.. ill try to get a vid of it for you.. pretty easier to build also.. summit racing can be your best friend.. parts overnight or in two days and not bad prices for 302 stuff if you dont have the money to spend 1200 on gt40x heads get some gt40p's off a explorer in a junkyard and get new springs retainers and a roller rocker kit from summit and take it to a shop and get them ported.. be just as good if not better ditch those piece heads that came on the fox bodys.. and go to carb.. weiend stealth intakes are wonderful on 302's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Do NOT waste your money on GT40 heads. Go with Trick Flow heads if you're going budget wise, if you have money then go with AFR heads. As for E or X303 cams..waste o' money. Go elsewhere. And if you're wanting to stroke, go 331. You won't be disappointed. DART blocks all the way. And FFS, go with dumped exhaust. You'll be so happy you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 i said gt40 because they can picked up a lot cheaper i try to not assume everyone has between 1k-2k to spend on cylinder heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 You can do a mild port job on stock 5.0 heads and get damn near the equivalent of GT40 heads. They're disappointing. 302's aren't renowned for making big numbers..gotta' spend money to make them impressive. Unless of course they're going into a featherweight car..

Sapphyre Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 *giddy!!* I just bought Chris' tie for the wedding. It's so awesome. hehe! He's been desperate for it and everyone told him he couldn't wear it because it would "lower the tone" and that it was "inappropriate" for a wedding, so he resigned himself to wearing just a plain navy tie instead. I'm going to give it to him the morning of the wedding. I can't wait to see his reaction!!

DelSolSweetie Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 fox bodies are ugly but can be made light as hell.. too bad it needs subframed before it can do much lol 302's can put out decent power for what they are.. i've seen a lot put out decent numbers with just head/cam swap tune=gay.. go carb and it really depends WHAT stock heads your porting.. some just suck balls IMO I have an extra set of my '69 302.. casting number is D00E i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 well my buddy does subframe work, he did the work on his 86 gt himself. i am trying to avoid a carburetor setup because i will drive this during winter, and from what i hear they can be hard to start in cold(dont have a garage yet). for the first year it will probably stay stock aside from a new head. after school is over money will be poured into it . if i can find a pic ill show you a fox body from here in chillicothe, including the driver the car weighs 2200 lbs lol, still has carpet too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5.0HO blocks aren't particularly fond of 400+ crank. Not saying it won't last forever, but they are generally known crack even with a girdle when they reach around 450 at the crank. Common knowledge. Old 302's are quite a bit tougher though, especially those found in trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
