    3 part engine question

    1. 1967 was a crossover year from 289 to 302. No surprise that you have a 302-stamped block. 2. It doesn't matter. 3. You cannot adjust hydraulic lifters. Don't worry about it.

    302 surprise

    68 was the changeover year from the 289 to the 302. No surprise to see what you found there, IMO.

    Considering a DSS 331/347 longblock instead of building my 351

    1. a 331/347 block is a 302 block, so anything that bolts to a 302 is OK. Generally, these questions/costs end up being a wash...the 351 block is somewhat stronger at the cost of ~100 lbs of weight and a bit wider/taller. Your 351 distributor will not fit a 302; shaft is too long. Your...

    GOvert Project: Front brakes

    Why again did you want to keep the rear-sump pan so badly? Front sump pan + pickup = what, 30 mins and $150? Oops, its a 2.3.... $75. ;) I'm no engineer but I think you desperately and diligently sought, then found, a solution in search of a problem. Good luck with the...

    Rear disk options Exp v. Vic v. Mark

    Well! Long time, no type :D As Steve says, I will be pleased to report to all on how the SN-95 rear disc setup works on the track at Road Atlanta in March. I personally feel the vented/non-vented rotor concept is overblown for rear discs....considering how little braking they do...

    8 inch rear axles

    ..and AFAIK, there are no 31-spline 8"/small bearing 9 axles, so if you want to go that route youd have to step up to the big-bearing 9. but someone will correct me if Im wrong.

    Jon, just FYI this is a list of what I used to do my conversion, as best I can remember. Its a T-5 behind a Windsor, so you have to take it for whats it worth. I may have forgotten a few widgits here and there as my memory is a lil fuzzy - I did the conversion about 5 years ago. Some of...

    If you are frugal, you can put together all you need for ~800-1200 bux, if you can accept a (good) used transmission.
