We need a breakdown of whats in Pat's shirt pocket.

[@lizzard8785]

Wouldn't be an episode without one of Pat's classic bad dad jokes..... thanks for the consistency guys! lol

[@glenniz1]

As much as I loved the combination of Pat and Mike, I must admit that Frankie and Pat have truly become an excellent team. Frankie is now much more comfortable in his role, and Pat is jumping with joy, just knowing that he has a cohost who hasn't heard all of his Bad Dad Jokes!

[@robertkerr4199]

Hey.. you guys should do a build on a Dogdge V10 out of a Ram.. see if you can build it to out perform a Viper V10... I've always suspected that you could build a magnum V10 for way less than a used viper engine..

[@n2omike]

MORE RPM!!! Power curve was going almost straight up when they shut it off! SPIN that little 3" stroke!

[@MrCheckster2000]

Surprised with the tall tunnel ram intake that you didn't take it to 7k. Might have gotten a little more out of it. That's where my little 302 with a tunnel and decent sized cam made the most power.

[@4g63mark]

That engine wanted more RPM. 6,000 RPM is big block stuff. 302's like to rev

[@161Sheriff]

When will you finish the 300 in-line 6 with a turbo?

[@jasonwalls1277]

They put a CNC 205 head on the LS that flows over 300 cfm and then put a 170 performer head that flows 230 cfm on the Ford and can't even make 400 hp. 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.

[@nickguerra1905]

plot twist the ford 302 is going into a vw jetta hell yeah put some american bald eagle freedom in a german car with japense tires lol

[@johnosborne1009]

I remember the trial and errors that we used to do with the Ford 289 with headers and a 500 two barrel. Take the Allen wrench and stick it in the vacuum advance to adjust the total advanced. Those were fun days getting out on the street and everybody thought it was a 289 hypo

[@michaelrandell4021]

Wish you would do a 351w 427 fuel injucted strocker with a Holley tunnel ram and twin Fi Tech and throttle bodys set up.

[@thecaptain3773]

Pro-tip, on Windsor engines, always, and I mean always put a bit of anti-seize on the longer water pump bolts, you or the next guy will appreciate it, as there's a lot of 302/351s out there missing a water pump bolt, or like mine, have a stud welded in.

[@gomezh82]

I'm i the only one who watches this on Sunday morning while eating breakfast?

[@mplante7352]

.060" overbore on a stock 302 roller block, no thanks. so there is what easily $10K in parts and this engine couldn't break the 400HP mark LOL

[@Brock_Landers]

This would be a really nice powerplant for a cruiser Fox body Mustang or an OBS F-150. Plus, with the Holley Terminator standalone boost would be a great option for this small block.

[@michaellangshaw7319]

I would love to see you guys build a 5.4-3valve engine. It is known as the engine that is the worst Ford engine put in the F-150 truck. I'd love to see what you guys can do to make that engine reliable and long lasting.

[@donneezyracing5756]

Love the dad jokes🤣🤣🤣

[@socleanmx6]

Spin that motor to 6800 .....and put some afr renegades with that cam they should be 7k 450 hp sbf

[@TrojanHorse1959]

I've always been told to not bore a 302/5.0 factory block over .030" because of the thin casting of those blocks.
