Sounds like a good starting point if I decide to build a new motor for the Fila
This is the "hurricane" engine they've been working on right?
No, it's an overpriced 302 block.
Anyone remember when Summit Racing was selling bare 5.0 blocks for $300 - $400?
They still are, at least in the catalog I have.
Meh.
They're $500 now. Almost double the price they used to be, if my memory doesn't fail me. shiznit, I forgot to check and see if they were roller blocks... probably so. You could spend as much as almost $5k for a bare race block. Yuck.
I realized that when the description said "some of the last 5.0's produced". Hell, at that price it's probably cheaper than getting an old non-roller 'converted' over to roller with the price of machining work that would be neccessary.
it doesnt ever seem to be released last i heard they pushed the dates of release to next year. i dont know though i dont really keep up on it.
it's like the boss block saposedly and starts off where the last 302 block they made stoped
hurricane is the knickname of the newer big displacement modulars....
those 302 blocks are not the production blocks, these are 4 bolt mains....i assume they are some derivative of the 302 sportsman blocks. if i was building a 302 id pick up a sportsman 302. basically a beefy version of the production 302.
But 4 bolt mains on only 3 of the mains? Isn't that kinda counter-intuitive?
They started out at $249... And thats fully machined..
Anybody notice that new block is capable of a 4.125 bore???? Stick a 347 crank in it, and that my freinds is 363cu in of BOSS motor... Trust me they'll sell. The Man-O-War block that is very similar is $2300...
BTW many of the HI-PO engines of days gone by just used four bolt mains on 2, 3 & 4...
