    speedmaster new 302 block?

    You can get a cheapy bore gauge kit for like $35 on Amazon these days if your worried, Idk if they still honor 2 day deliver though lol.. You grabbing a new or used one?

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Lol they thought it would be cheap not $100 less then dart, it was also when blocks where a pita to get. This is the dude selling them on the group, I didn't do any due diligence and rarely use FB so don't know him, so you might want to before sending any money, FB is riddled with scammers...

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    https://outlawspeed.com.au/shop/af96-1012 aeroflow has it too, so high chance it will be all over China mart soon. The 4.185 bore specs listed and 208lbs dont make sense for a stock replacement 2 bolt 8.2 block though, so be interesting to see one in real life.

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Yeah I'm not interested in the 2 bolt main but if there casting an 8.2 in China they probably have a 4 bolt option in the works, Idk why anyone would pay 2k for a two bolt unless its was a repo of a 60's numbers block like the ones being cast in England for a certain race series.. The ford...

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Anyone know any details on these? China sourced? Why stick with 2 bolt mains, any plans for 4 bolt etc... IDK any thing about them, just noticed it pop up on Google while searching for a block and haven't found any mention of them with a quick search. Fords got the boss standard or bigbore 8.2...

    Any of those metal shrouded without flaps dual fan kits like the mishimoto block more airflow threw the radiator with that dumb design. All it does is reduce surface area, not something you want when cooling. Why ppl still sell them is beyond me, a stock clutch fan is better than those cheap...

    Interior and Upholstery 1993 Instrument Cluster cover

    The plastic cover or the lense? Cover just get a cheap roll of some Matte black automotive wrap. I used some Matte carbon fiber stuff on my 79 dash just to make it look uniform on a budget since it was in such sad shape. Dull enough to not have a glare issue.

    Sound deadener install

    I don't do the cover the whole car thing in it.... Only put it where sound resonates when tapping the sheet metal, doors, some areas of the pan, roof, quarters etc, the weight is what cuts out the squeaks and rattles and makes stuff feel solid vs tinny. I typical Use a lighter foam with foil...

    Clutch cable suggestions

    It's 83-86 thunder bird turbo coupe/ cougar xr7 cable, 87 those went hydraulic for the T bird and cougars dropped the turbo 2.3 option. It's not correct but will work for fox body's mustangs with some mods, think the mustang clutch fork opening might too large for the ball end on them, nothing...
