    What size engine should I get (302, 308, 310)

    331 w/ ported GT40s

    doubtful if YOU can pull the 400 HP on a set of heads and stock cam!! probably was done though!! And yes a dyno engine in a controlled dyno room isnt real life, and there was no comparison engines run to see an apple to apple comparison.. Yes, there have been a number of 400 +HP 302s on...

    331 w/ ported GT40s

    and that would be the Ford 351W heads?? did you know the W heads from Ford are the same heads they use on the 302's?? the C9 and D0 351W 4V heads are the pre-GT40 heads and the 40s will walk around then.. with better ports and runners, and the chambers and bowls... sorry! Just...

    90 5.0 w/ Duraspark In a 63' Falcon

    The ign module is a good combo!! look at the module and see if it has a BLUE or Brown tab.. and your set!! The one tooth off is what I was trying to explain.. cool!! IF the dizzy wont drop in , all the way down.. turn the engine over to align the oil pump shaft and the distributor will then...

    331 w/ ported GT40s

    "302 parts make 302 hp period.." that isnt the truth, and also that is a pretty strong statement!! I know that a lot of people that are into SELLING parts, use that saying a LOT!! But in our experiance the 302 parts can and will make a lot of power... maybe you cant get much from a 302... but...

    F303 cam

    The F can be shifted to 6500 on an EFI car.. I would think 6000 will pull a lot of power.. your intake will carry that with ease !! You can over rev the HP rating to drop you back into good torque rating!! JUST BE SURE the springs on the P's are up to the camshaft!! or you WILL be rpm...

    90 5.0 w/ Duraspark In a 63' Falcon

    The ign timing is to the camshaft.. and the B303 is the 137.... firing order!! Stuffing a dizzy is cake...ONLY IF YOU HAVE DONE it before!! cool?? Go back to basics.. TDC look at there the rotor button is pointing ( dont forget it CAN show 180* out.. so turn over to TDC again..) if the button...

    E7TE porting, best Timing and gap spark plug?

    Plug gap is to the fuel ratio/ ign quality and the compression!! IF you go to a colder than stock plug.. that is good!! closing the gap will allow a SMALLER flame, and this is good with high compression , when that will actually "blow out the flame on the plugs". I suggest.. .045 gap on a...

    What size engine should I get (302, 308, 310)

    Well then this is a math thing?? Cause, if you stroke for the same cost as you are going now ( Pistons/rods/ crankshaft) there is no contest!! IF you are keeping the 3.00 stroke and just boring the block... the 8 ci isnt worth the HP/Cost gains. Say you get 400 BHP on a 302!! You will...

    ALL rocker arems are not Equal!! clearance them is the only way!! dont feel bad, there is a lot of stuff out there that needs a grinder touch everyonce in a while!! I run Harland sharps 730" intake and 750 exhaust. No issues on my BBF. On a small block we were running 630/650 again with...

    how will the B-cam act over stock?

    NO.. it wont sux bad, install the B303 in at 4* advanced!! and you must have a set of 3.73!! cool?? If you have none of these.. gears/ intake / t-B / ect.. you WILL see a gain, just not as much as when you do add the other mods!! OH, and race people fron a roll!! 'cause your off line will...

    Stocks heads with Cam

    Agreed.. the cam should be the last thing... that being said, the stock heads will need a spring up grade for any thing!! then keep the cam under .500 lift and install the cams in at 4-6* advanced to help with the lowend..( depending on camshaft used of course) Springs.. camshaft.. timing...

    3.73 OR 4.10????????

    V6?? either gear is good.. the 3.73s is the most common with a 5 spd. it will feel like a new engine in there.. the way it takes off!! and yes, your top end will drop!! but getting there will be twice as fun.. Just me............................... Thumper
