It is currently being sandblasted primed and a military undercoating. Beautiful truck only has a hundred and twenty thousand miles on it and was well maintained. Only thing lacking is a fresh motor so that we can pull a camper or both spend some time together. This boy has had it rough abandoned by both parents I am all he has. He is definitely a truck nut. Does not realize the project truck is for him. Everything is in blue tones. Just like that small block Ford.

Typical of a big bore short stroke combo. Chevy 302'S did the same and more.

I'm a big fan of the channel and Holley Efi. You should mention to everyone that when tuning and add timing and no improvement you need to back timing back down. Same for fuel, if you lean it our and no difference you need to add that fuel back in. You did both on this one but didn't show putting it back. I sure hope you put it back to give this motor a chance to stay cooler and live longer.

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.

[@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?

I think there’s got to be something available for that. The other thing he did was to put an AMC rear end in it, and I’m not sure that’s the best option. I’d rather have a 9” or 8.8” with rear disc brakes.

[@samuelriester1419]

Love the show! I don't mean this derogatory to you guys. But all I learned from this video is that those performer RPM heads are way out of date and left behind by newer head designs. Pretty much any flat top short block, AFR 185 renegades or trick flow twisted wedge 170 11rs with a comp XE274 HR will make like 430 with a dual plane and simple carb or 450 to 460 with a single plane and 7k RPM. 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. But my guess is it would be pretty epic. I've got one myself with 185 renegades and a dual plane and it straight up rips. That head choice killed the build. The modern head technology is amazing.
