I got mine last week. Thanks, man!

[@MrAlsbrooks]

got a fbo 302 in my truck right now, that's hurtin. can't decide between coyote swap or forced induction pushrod

[@ryurc3033]

Anyone who has ever experienced anything close to 500 hp in a short bed pickup knows, that's going to be a riot. In a world of 1000-2500 hp KZbin builds, it's nice to see a build still based in reality. Not a ford guy, but I still appreciate someone who builds a motor and is brave enough to stick it right on a Dyno. This is how you break in a motor that you want to perform. Start, warm it up(vary rpm between 2and 3k). Then put a load on it and give it the beans. My friends dad used to put every ford/Chevy motor he built for a customer in a 1 ton truck to break it in hauling a 3500lb gooseneck trailer. Probably did 20 like that, as soon as it was warmed up, and the cam has time to break in, it was pulling 10,000 lbs down the road as hard as it could. The Camaro that got a small block done that way was frickin scary.

[@Thecraig909]

I appreciate that!

[@JM.Performance]

This is actually very impressive. A 91 octane safe timing SBF making 500hp. Why I love my Ford motors… small block or big block

[@dillyb0612]

This is why I love 302s/ SBF!!!!! Absolute screaming rpm outta that little guy, and 500hp!

[@moparjo_9753]

Just depends on how much money you put it in the motor

[@dennisrobinson8008]

​@@moparjo_9753The AFR heads made it happen.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Its a low rpm for a 5.0 to make 500HP. Very nice.

[@1gatomon]

That is an accomplishment. I still remember putting my fresh balanced and tuned 421 HO from my 1963 Grand Prix on the Dyno.. I had heard of Power around 450. But when It did 650 I almost passed out. Those where the days of Street Racing.

[@eppyschopshop]

Brooooo my heart was racing watching that thing climb to 7k. Good shit. I guess I won't antagonize you on Instagram anymore and start working on my other engine. 302 life 🤘🤘

[@bigc6310]

Congrats on surpassing 500HP naturally aspirated! Another testament of Ford 302 pushrod power. These are great little engines that have stood the test of time and continue to perform and serve!

[@booncha1971]

Awesome ! My anxiety was shooting through the roof watching it climb to 7000 rpm ! That's an Incredible sbf right there !!

[@Ray56z]

You take care of the bottom end of a Ford and it'll take care of you. I had a 40 over, non-stroked 302 built in the mid 70s. Believing a 8K Motorola tach would be the limit I found out it wasn't, 9300K on another liquid Motorola. It was a big block stomper-those chevy and poncho owners hated me, literally hated me to the point of near fights. Then I dropped in the stroked 351/406.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

​@@Ray56zwhat were your heads and rest of combo?

[@Ray56z]

@@dennisrobinson8008 Both of those builds were done by a shop in Quincey Illinois, '73-'74. Since my last surgery I've big memory gaps, that sleep juice is a M'F'er. I just tried calling an old friend, think he's asleep. They were a big fan of the 302 Boss clevor style with their own version. They were better known for dirt track power than street/strip but had no problem doing them either. Some of the stuff I never even knew what it was, they had it, told me what it would do, hand over the cash. Tight lipped with info, several builders of circle track engines in that part of the country. I never knew the hp, I never expected those RPMs, but those needed the RPMs for torque. I left the lights at 4200. I actually had another local dirt track builder that built mostly MOPAR do my 340, stroked only, for my '64 Barracuda, he was as tight lipped too. If ol' John-Hollywood-can remember more than this I'll do a complete different reply instead of edit so ya get the nitice.

Hat’s off for that build!! I had goosebumps when you guys revved it to 7,300, what a sound - and those power figures are insane!

[@Thecraig909]

Much appreciated Rob!

[@70_Torino_Guy]

Dude, that sounds so amazing! Can't wait to hear it in the truck with the x pipe.

[@dsshowerpan]

I'm a VW guy, but the sound of a small block Ford past 5,000 rpm sounds so good. Nice job

[@JACKINSTEIN]

I can't wait to hear it with your x pipe setup

[@scottburns4515]

Man its awesome your combo made that power but what sucks and is awesome at the sametime is its going in yiur truck. I've got almost the twin to your combo and a 74 f100 swb, 2wd so basically the same truck. It will be fun in your truck and I xant wait to see how you like it. But that engine would be a total different animal in your foxbody or a fairlane. Eitherway its going to be awesome to see it in your truck.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

91 octane holy shit. E85 will give 40 more hp and 25 ft lb. Awesome build.

[@nealfox1976]

Small block sounds mean!!! Great power numbers!!!

[@C6Z_Bob]

Making peak power all the way up there, you should be shifting that thing close to 8000 rpm for the best acceleration. That thing is gonna sound sick through the X-pipe!

[@pdrphil8159]

Oooofta ! 7g's on a stock crank . Not too shabby all around.

Awesome engine. I wonder what the fox is making. Love the new shirt by the way. How about one for the Galaxie.

[@jcnpresser]

Them little sbf’s are screamers, gonna be fun in that truck!

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

Sounds great! Back in 1980 I had a 289 in a ‘62 Ranchero that I shifted at 7200 RPM. It ran 11.80’s. Never dyno’d but back then there was no aftermarket for SBF’s as the 5.0 wasn’t born yet. Old factory heads, rods, distributor, etc. with good heads/cam and more RPM I suspect it would run 10’s in today’s world....

[@2nickles647]

I've been wrenching on my friend Ford 302. He is pretty happy with my tuning progress. I feel good to help him.

Tunnel ram for the extra 30 to 50hp and balanced fuel distribution.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Sweet! It made all that power at a "low" 7200 rpm. I was curious how she is doing today? We were just talking about we don't see stock blocks much over 6500, that if you do it's usually a 69-71 that has the higher nickel content and stronger mains and thicker bores.

Dude that thing is a screamer. 7000rpm of madness.

[@tabletop45]

i thought stock 302 blocks couldn't handle more than 500 HP. dont they always split between the crank and main at that power level?

[@VernLeRoy1962]

so now if you set the RPM limiter to 6600 the engine should last a little while, lmao!

[@dennisrobinson8008]

How is this one doing today? Before your build for high rpm builds we'd seek 69-71 blocks or boss 302 blocks with thicker mains and thicker castings or an aftermarket block. The "thinwall casting" 79-94 "5.0" mustang block was not really desireable for that, we'd think you'd harmonics would crack the mains and they would crack or down the lifter valley which you know is super thin. Knowing we can get into a high rpm build at a lower cost point is attractive. Did you stay with that 270@.050" cam that you mentioned early in the series because later on I heard something about an Anderson cam or did i hear wrong?

[@DanzigDemento]

Awesome! Hope this one holds together!

[@kelvinboyd7459]

[@kylerush7948]

Im gonna be building a 331 stroker for my 64 ranchero that probably gonna be around 450 but my dad said the scariest car he was ever in was a 65 mustang with mad 289. You can build a small block

[@FourSpeedFilms]

awesome

[@michaelrohr4280]

I hope the truck has at least 373 ratio. I've had a 289 radical cam and head work in a 83 f150 2wd. 4spd And torque was lacking. 1st and 2nd pulled ok but3&4. Ehhh so it got a 429

[@gordocarbo]

x2 hes gonna need some real steep gears to get it moving . Bigger arm on the st is always better

[@joethepirate1]

Well done! It sounds killer!

[@Redrocker1970]

Sounds great! Excellent!

[@8.2deck]

People keep giving me 302 roller engines for free so i just keeps running them even though I know the 9.5 deck engines are better. Also you have to have everything to support the 9.5 from cylinder heads to the transmission. I like seeing a 302 in a big vehicle like my e150 and thinking how crazy it is that something so small can move a big vehicle around with ease

[@darriandk]

What was the compression

[@speedyg2577]

Just put a 6500 chip in it so you don't boat anchor another engine because the tach in your noggin is defective. Unless you plan on road racing it where the RPMs will live that high it is useless for the street. Would rather have more torque to get that truck moving. You will figure it out when you mature.

[@thunderbolt2277]

exactly what I was thinking. and richen that thing up top but pretty sweet combo Craig hell yeah

[@gordocarbo]

Yep...first time he builds something with a decent stroke he will never want a 302 again. Or any sb in that truck

[@wooteddy31]

I was wondering how much could I get out my mercy mountaineer engine when I start the build

[@taylorbrittain5694]

Your on the edge of block splitting power lol

[@89Interceptor]

you can make more hp out of a 302 reliably if you get a boss or dart block and its not like you have the original 302 still in your truck if you really want to keep a 302 in your truck and not have to rebuild it all the time i would go with a boss block and a nice set of forged pistons

[@coryparsons4257]

The Keith Black high compression pistons are a design flaw! The top ring land is too close to piston face, causing severe heat, which causes piston breakage, been talking with a racing engine builder, has stated even running .25 tho ring gap, they fail over and over, was nothing you broke, just crap parts!
