  1. High Performance
    Hello, I have a 1968 Cougar with a 302 2V. It is in need of a rebuild, and I would like to spice things up a little when I do so over the next few months. My goal for the car is a solid street car with the occasional trip to the strip. I would really like to be as close to or better than 300...
  2. Classic Cougar Tech
    I found a couple of heads (a 289 and a 302) for $50 on CList. They look like they are in decent shape, though a valve or two may need replacing. I was wondering if I could take them and have someone do a good valve job on them to match a set of heads I'd like get but can't afford. Is it doable...
