Time for some motivating. I shopped around a bit and ended up purchasing a completed engine from the Engine Factory guys. They were the only ones who would touch my flywheel and were great at what they did. The engine was assembled and test run before delivery and included a video of my engine running on their test set up. My engine spec is as follows
Complete Carbureted Engine 302 CI/373 HP
þ Blueprinted machined 302 Roller Block version,
þ Nodular Cast Iron Crankshaft
þ Federal Mogul 10:1 CR Hyperuetectic pistons
þ Heavy Duty double roller Dynagear Timing set
þ Comp Cams Hydraulic camshaft # 35-430-8 224 / 224 duration @ .050 .560 / .560 Lift
þ Comp Cams 1.6 to 1 Ratio Pro Magnum Roller Rocker Arms
þ Edelbrock RPM Aluminum fast burn cylinder heads with stainless 2.02 “ valves and hardened locks, chrome moly retainers and HD valve springs.
þ Melling high volume oil pump
þ Canton baffled road race pan
þ Edelbrock performer RPM dual Plane intake
þ Edelbrock 650 cfm 4 barrel AVS carb with electric choke
þ Short nose water pump
þ Small diameter Accel electronic Ignition
I'm not planning on dynoing the engine, if it makes half of what they advertise, it will be good enogh for me. I just want it to start and run without having to screw with it
Transaxle is a Mach I unit with some internal mods to tighten up shifting a bit, flywheel is a Roy Lane item from TechCraft and clutch is AP Racing, Frank Catt design throwout bearing, starter is a Tilton high output with an MDA adapter.
I realize that I am going to have to re-run the spark plug wires so that they do not cook and much to my dismay, the headers do not fit properly.
