Hi all,
I was given some stuff recently and have decided to use it in my 70 instead of the Cleveland I have. :1poke:
It's a 302 Mexican block, a set of speed pro 12.5:1 pistons (that'll probably be shaved to flat-tops. me no likey high comp. in street car), a set of rods that are as yet unidentified, and a steel crank.
All is stock 302 dimension. Including the block which looks like it will clean up with a hone.
Also have a Performer 289 intake.
It's been a while since I built a carbureted 302.
Anyone have a recipe for a good 302 setup?
I'll probably turn this into a buildup article if I can.
Use will be cruising and bracket racing with a rev ceiling of about 5500 or so.
The car will run on pump gas. Mileage is a consideration.
It will be a budget concious thing. Mostly because I decided this at the last minute. And I think that not everyone with a cougar can afford to turn it into a pro touring sled and might like to see a budget built racer.
I hit the road in about a month or so to be traveling all summer with my cat.
Thanks in advance.
