    Motor build.

    Patriot heads sell for about $935-1000, if your gonna spend that you might as well spend another $200 and get a set of Trick Flows, I would think anyways. AFR and Trick Flow seem to be the best heads for the 302. Plus if you do a search on the patriot heads a lot of people find there...

    Yes, if it's factory it's fuel injected. As for parts start with intake and exhaust. Cold air intake, headers, exhaust system even intake manifold. Fuel injected intakes are not cheap though, unless you get a deal on used, or go to the junkyard and pull the top end off like a 98 explorer with...

    GT40P-E303-1993 FACTORY STOCK 5.0

    I thought about using playdough, but then I read not to use it cause it can throw off the reading because it starts to regain it's shape after being squished down. Just thought I'd throw that out there, see if anyone else has heard anything on it.

    A little advice would be good.

    A little advice would be good.

    I agree with 2000xp8, the only reason I would go with a 351 is if your going to try and make more power then the 302 block can handle. If your not going to try and get everything you can out of the 351, stay with the 347. I'm looking to do the same as you. I was just gonna put a set of...

    GT40P-E303-1993 FACTORY STOCK 5.0

    I agree with maryland stang your compression would be around 10:1. As far as checking ptv clearance theres a couple ways. I think most people use modeling clay. Lay a strip or two across the piston where the valves would make contact, the strip should be about 1/4 in. thick, you can lightly...

    ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS

    O.K. I think I have the connecting rod situation figured out. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to use different rods cause the ones I have right now are pressed on and I have no way of finding out if the pistons can be pressed on. But I'm still uncertain about what solid lifter to use for...

    ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS

    First Question- I have a set of domed forged pistons with floating pins laying around and want to use them instead of the hyper pistons which are on my stock rods and they are pressed on. How would I go about doing this. I don't know if the forged piston can be pressed or not, would I have to...

    5.0 pouring coolant

    If it's coming out as fast as it sounds, I would think it almost has to be a freeze plug. Cant you get up under it even it you can't see it, if you know basically where they are you should be able to get your hand in somewhere and feel it. Thats a pretty big hole to miss. I would pretty much...

    Newbie with a lot of questions

    It would be a lot easier and less work to go with a carb. As far as I know you can use the 5.0 wiring harness even for the fuel injected swap, and also the computer and 89 is when they started the mass air, before that it was the speed density. I know you need to get the oil pan kit to put the...

    ENGINE BUILD SUGGESTIONS

    Thanks for the input, you are the second person who has said to switch the carb to a holley. Another person replied and said a holley 600dp. Would you recommend the same thing and could you tell my why to switch to a holley. I'm just wondering and haven't messed with carbs to much except the...

    Wax and Buffing advise PLEASE!

    If you can get some Eagle One CG2 cleaner glaze it works great imo, it was one of the best products I used. I used the buffer when I put it on with a foam light to medium duty pad. Also like NikwoaC said get a microfiber towel, they are the best thing for wiping off the wax or dusting off a...

    Wax and Buffing advise PLEASE!

    I agree with NikwoaC, it is unnecessary to wax a car that much. I detailed cars as a job for 41/2 years. Unless your car has scratches there's also no need to buff it, if you haven't buffed a car before don't use a wool pad, they work real well but go with a foam pad to start off with until...

    ENGINE BUILD SUGGESTIONS

    Thanks for the input. What do you think on the pistons should I put some domed pistons in to higher the compression? Could you also explain more on the carb selection, what's wrong with edelbrock carb, how much would the holley help? And I am going to be getting 3.55 or 3.73 gears also.

    ENGINE BUILD SUGGESTIONS

    Yes, I have hyper flat tops about 9:1 with stock heads that are in the engine now, I do also have a set of I believe they are forged dome TRW pistons that I've had for years I posted them on here with pictures trying to find info on them, but didn't get any replies they look exactly like the...

    ENGINE BUILD SUGGESTIONS

    O.K. so you see what I have in my signature. Right now my motor is down to the short block because I had coolant in the oil and I thought it was a headgasket or cracked head, but I believe it was due to the intake manifold having several bolts that were so loose you could move them by hand...

    combo help

    I have a 306 with flat top piston (speed pro hyper) with stock E7TE heads, besides the trick flow valve spring kit, I run the Ford racing E303 cam 220 duration on intake and exhaust and .498 lift on intake and exhaust. I got it because it was a popular cam for the 5.0 motor at the time, but now...
