Topic: Rebuild V8 302

  Hi folks!

I'm a lover for car and today I will experience something new.

I will rebuild a V8 302 engine and I would expect to get some new tips.

I am reading a lot of forums and here is what I get so far:

1) Aluminum cylinder heads

2) Mid-length headers instead of exhaust cast iron manifolds

3) Dual quad Edelbrock 660 CFM

4) Dual plane intake manifold air gap

5) Solid roller camshafts? (I need help here!)

6) 3-Inch Exhaust

7) Forged pistons to 347? Domed pistons

What you guys think about? I'm really new on this, so excuse me if I say something absurd.

Best Regards

  Well, we are more into the flathead era of the Ford automobile here at this site. (1932- 1953)
While we do have other collector vehicles, there maybe some overhead valve responses for you.

  Gustavo, for the best answers you probably should try your questions on a forum that deals with Mustangs.

  Gustavo,

Also try: http://www.jalopyjournal.com. Be sure to explain what you intend to do with the car when finished.
