Anything past 600hp on a stock block and you're running on borrowed time without a girdle. I know there is a guy on turbomustangs.com that is running 140+mph trap speeds on a stock 302 block though.All a girdle does is hold your pieces in one pile when it blows. Suprised you havnt seen that quote on turbomustangs.com Quote Selected

I guess, a 302 SO with 5 speed, a 3.73, roller rocker arms, the headers and exhaust and the intake wont be so far of that low 14`s...maybe high 14`s...maybe someone have to try it..He has 3.42's, not even 3.73's in his firebird.I highly doubt you can make a SO 5.0 run mid-low 14's with just bolt ons. Especially considering that going with an HO swap will just barely get you in the 14's, and that is changings the heads, cam, full exhaust, upper and lower intake, computer, injectors, etc. Quote Selected

There are some sick sick people in this world Reply #33 – April 03, 2006, 02:30:59 AM well i do have to just say a few things. out of the box. chevy enggins got us beat. they are cheap. make more power and have a way beter design even the head bolt design is beter. the heads flow a tone more stock. and i belive the 302 and 305 could be compared . but shouldnt be as the 305 is not a 4inch bore like the 302 350. all a 351 has on a 302 and 350 is the stroke. and lets not forget that Gm got 4 bolt mains as we only have 2 also Gm got a lot of funding for the 350 from the govenrment. (well thats what im told) so stock for stock GM got us performance prices they got us. but who cares. it should boil down to the driver. you can have a 1,000 hp car vs a 800hp car and the 800hp can win over that 1,000hp car. all in the reaction time and knowing how to drive your car with whatever engine trans setup you got.

There are some sick sick people in this world Reply #39 – April 03, 2006, 10:32:13 AM QuoteThe SO 5.0 and the 3.8 are both boat anchors and Ford should be ashamed of them (especially the SO 5.0).I'll give you the 3.8. The SO 5.0 block is identical to the HO one. Cranks are the same. Even the high-swirl E6 heads were on the 1986 Mustang 5.0. Having a cam that was really meant for towing rather than performance is the only real, major, overall difference between the engines. So I'd still give thumbs up to the SO engine...it's just a step away from being an HO with a cam change.The fact that Ford did that to us, though, would be grounds for shooting someone.

There are some sick sick people in this world Reply #40 – April 03, 2006, 11:31:56 AM Wow, guess we're going to get into every shortcoming that has happened with domestic small blocks over the years. As far as that Ford block breaking at around 430 HP, I'm sure there have been GM and Chrysler blocks that have failed at those power levels as well. Coulda been a probem/defect in that particular block that happened during the casting process. Nothings perfect. If something was we'd all want it. Quote Selected
