Question: what about the 302
will i have the crank and cam bearings in now. i have decised on the size of cam 471/471 lift.flat tops and holley 600 carb.any suggestions on anything else.
454 baby :-p LOL I wish :-p
yep, bore out to a 306, flat top pistons , Edelbrock Rpm intake manifold, Cloyes true double roller timing chain, Stock heads with gasket port matching/grinding, 3 angle valve job, holley electric fuel pump running to an adjustable regulator at 7 lbs.
What heads? Advertised Duration on the cam? Duration @.050"? ICL? ECL? LSA?
Wrong auto manufacturer....
well thanks for the recommendations. i will let you know about the progress as i go along here.the block is bored over to .030. over if i'm
not mistaken isn't that up to the 306 bore. i'm also going to use points ignition on this engine. i have ported and polished the heads.
so i will keep you up to date on this 302.
302-306, any idea just how much horsepower and/or torque is created by 4 cubic inches ?
I'm thinking about as much as if you opened the door and pushed your car along with your foot.
or better yet, a 460 based 514 stroker! it would be the right brand and have more cubes either way.
1 hp? lol
I have a 306 though ;)
Sure a fresh 306 isn't going to make noticably more power than a fresh 302 with the same parts, but it should make a bit more power than a worn out 302 bandaided together with new rings in a sloppy wore out bore lol.
Outta curiosity, why use points ignition? Seems like a hassle for no reason.... unless you're in an older car and want to maintain the stock look. Even then, I'd go maybe with a Pertronix Ignitor.
Depending on the heads you're using, a 30-degree backcut on the valves can do quite a bit. The article Car Craft did on this based the Ford testing on 351W DOOE heads. Take a look at the article (http://"http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/116_0612_valve_angle/index.html").
