    fenders

    It has been my experience that aftermarket fenders do not fit well. Spend the extra time, effort and money to get genuine Ford fenders, new or used. :nice:

    flexplate reinforcment ring hlep needed

    I would think that since Ford deleted the use of the ring they think the newer style flywheel is strong enough. Since the Summit part is obviously made for a late model with 50 oz unbalance I would say you don't need the reinforcement ring. I would say call Summit but most of those guys on the...

    flexplate reinforcment ring hlep needed

    What balance flywheel will you be using? The 1966 C-4 flywheel will fit on the '90 302 but will be balanced wrong for a 1990 engine. I seem to remember the '66 289's with a C-4 as being all 157 tooth flywheel equipped which was never made in a late model 50 oz. balance configuration from Ford...

    Any Difference Between the Mustang and Lincoln 5.0?

    The LSC version of the Mark VII had the HO version of the 302. All NON-LSC Marks and ALL other Lincolns of that era did not have the HO.

    flexplate reinforcment ring hlep needed

    Ford basic part # 6A366, I think. I'll look it up Monday at work and see if it is still available from Ford and at least give you the complete Ford part number.

    Hood Insulator

    Cop Mustangs didn't have a hood insulator from the factory so running without one is no problem! Take your old one off at home and put the new one on at the dealer. If you don't want to do that, I think the new insulator would fit in the back of a hatch Mustang without the box it comes in.

    HP?? 1/4 Mile???

    I agree with Intense. My old Bobcat wagon had the same heads untouched, 650 Holley, .498/280 hyd cam, flat top TRWs, 2800 stall C-4, 3.89 gear and ran 12.50s @ 106 no bottle. It had 235/60/14 M&H street stickies and hooked decent, 1.75-1.85 60 ft. times. Probably could have gone faster if I...

    post your hp/trq rating and mod list

    How about your 1/4 mile ETs/ 60 ft. times instead? Can't reach the finish line strapped to a dyno!:nonono:

    Old 302 spark plugs?

    I think 1976 was the last year of the 18mm {big} spark plug.

    Why only the 460 BB in a Fox?

    The Gopher is right! The potential for the 385 series engine is fanatastic. If I was going to run a BB, the 385 is the way to go, and I raced FE's for years before they got stupidly priced and always knew they were not as good as the 385's for poor mans racing. With all the aftermarket heads...

    Mexican Block Gurus come on in...

    On the oil pan difference. I am assuming that you will be putting the engine in a Fox chassis which has a rear sump. 302 blocks for Fox chassis in the 80's had a indentation and a hole drilled back by the lh 4th main bearing area to accomodate the rear sump dipstick. Any small block from the...

    Mexican Block Gurus come on in...

    Aftermarket block startin' to look a little better now, aint it? Yes the 2 piece rear main seal cranks are machined a little differently so that is one more area you would have to address using a '70s era block. Get with your stroker kit people and see what they say about that first...

    Mexican Block Gurus come on in...

    '80s 302--1 piece rear main seal, '70s 302--2 piece rear main seal. '80s 302--hole drilled in lh side of block for rear sump dipstick. '70s 302 no hole, must use pan with dipstick provision. Thats about all, no biggie but you might want to know.

    Mexican Block Gurus come on in...

    The Mexican 302 block will completely interchange with a '70s era 302. It uses all non-Mexican 302 parts save the main caps. All it really is is a thicker & heavier cast block in the main bearing webbing area including the caps. I have heard but that they are cast with a higher nickel content...

    Why only the 460 BB in a Fox?

    RYC is right about the FE. I have had many, many FEs over the years. Speed parts for the FE were plentiful "back in the day" but the pressure from car collectors wanting them too drove the price beyond what most racers were willing to pay. I think the FE with an aluminum intake actually weighs...

    5.0 Resto Fenders and Bumpers

    I had the same experience as Mustangsally. I got a parts car that had aftermarket fenders on it when I wrecked my '88 HB. After several frustrating hours :mad: of adjusting and refitting the non-Ford fenders I found a set of cherry '87 used Ford fenders. Problem solved. Fit great, all gaps and...
