    what is the problem with serious power on the 302 block?

    Dart blocks are about $2100 and are about the best you can get, well, the best I guess you'd say. You either have to machine the lifter valley to accomodate the lifter spyder or use link bar lifters (that's what I'd do). You can use the same pistons, cam, etc. The lifter bores sometimes need...

    Has anyone ever done a swap to a 351W from a 302 on a fox body?

    yes, this is a very COMMON swap (*cough* search *cough* :-p) If you're wanting to use 302 pistons, a 393 uses 302 pistons :flag:

    Suggestions on welding holes in the engine bay?

    yeah, that's true :) I got the front clip (both fenders and bumper) removed today, so it should make everything a lot easier :flag:

    Suggestions on welding holes in the engine bay?

    Yeah, you can do it w/ flux core, but it's easy to make it look messy, but I don't know if that'd be an issue since you or I am going to be sanding them anyway when it's done :)

    Should I buy this mustang to fix ?

    from what you're saying, it's not an uncommon problem w/ foxbodys, and isn't that hard to fix, some people weld it or use bolts, I'd weld if I were you I'd buy it in a heart beat as long as it ran :flag:

    FINALLY got my engine+transmission pulled!

    no that hard. If the engine is in the car still, remove the condensor/radiator. Also, make sure you cover the cam in lube (I think most cams come w/ it). When I first pulled mine, I was NERVOUS. I also had to sorta roll the cam while pulling it b/c somethings the lobes would get caught...

    rear end ratio with turbo?

    I've always heard from reliable sources (at turbomustangs.com) that turbo cars like less gear. I have 3.73s, and am planning a similar project. I'll probably keep my 3.73s w/ the turbo, but if I had build the turbo system first, I probably would have less gear :flag:

    Driveshaft bolts wont budge!

    It took me 2 hours and several broken wrenches to finally figure out I needed heat! By using a propane torch, I got all of them off in about 10 minutes! Heat, heat, heat, heat! Heat each bolt/flange area for about 2 minutes minimum and they sould come off w/ a little effort. :nice:

    Can't Get Head off! Quick..Help!

    :rlaugh: Sorry, I've done some stuff like that too, thanks for the laugh :flag: Just get ready, when you get the heads off they're heavy (about 50#s each). Not too heavy, but if you're leaning over much, it can make them feel like 100#s. When I was pulling the driver's side head for my...

    Thanks 65Shelbyclone :flag: I've been trying to get it done the past few weeks (or months! :rlaugh: ) but several times my Saturdays were "booked up," but this one was clear. It was snowing on Friday, so I'm glad it wasn't snowing yesterday, my parents really wouldn't have liked me being out...
