I have a 302 engine that was supposedly taken from a mustang GT.
I bought the engine knowing that I have to strip it down and inspect it.
I have one of the heads off and have already found a large dark mark on the bore which seems to have been caused by water making the inside of the bore rusty (the engine has been sitting in a leaky garage for a while) which will probably mean a rebore.
I just wanted to ask if the piston in the picture is standard for that type of application. As far as i'm aware, it's a mid 80's engine, originally fitted with an efi system. It has a roller camshaft and a serpentine pulley on the water pump (which will need changing)
