I'm a Ford guy and this engine wouldn't be a bad street performer but the 302 Ford can make alot more than that. I would love to go on there and show them how to make 450 hp from a 302.

[@mplante7352]

They did a 347" SBF not so long ago and at the 500HP mark they had to go to an aftermarket block so would have made more sense for them to use a 351W based engine if you wanted stock for stock, they would have made over 400HP easily and had more torque to back up the HP. they said the EFI will handle more which is great but if you wanted to do turbo or supercharger then the block becomes the weak link at .060" over i'd pass and used the stock crankshaft another cringe. you can do all of this stuff but does it make sense when your whole foundation for your house is made of popsicle sticks and gorilla glue?

Okay Boys, I have a challenge for you, that is if you even read these posts. I have a 1991 Ford f-150 that I have had since 1997 I have never upgraded the engine in anyway shape and or form until this month. I just put new long tube headers, 48,000v coil, 8.5mm wires, MSD cap and rotor. E3 spark plus and a Accel ignition module and I am installing a new pickup coil. Thus far that is all I am doing to it. I have noticed allot of replacement parts for this engine and I would love to see you guy build this engine with all of the performance parts that are for this model of engine. For instance like the performance replacement induction for this engine. I want to keep the stock look of it but want to do up grades in phases. I would love to see you guys play with this idea and let us know the benefits of these parts. Thank you! But then again I would like you folks to do a 245/265 Hemi slant 6 but hey first things first.

That is just the typical 302 inch small block ford on the street these days, times have changed! I've never seen one done up with nice heads and as fancy of a top end as y'all use.
