    carb plumbing

    If you have hood clearance, you can run a small spacer or a couple gaskets under the base. Holley makes both.

    Pic of 8" carnage; advice on 9" needed.

    The housing isnt the expensive part, it's the rest of the parts that add up. Case, posi unit, gears etc will set you back alot more. Places like moser sell bare 9in housings, all you need to do is weld on the spring perches. My 68 8in axles were the same diameter for the whole length, fwiw.

    Which block?

    Where? Other than the original boss 302, all OE 302-351w ford blocks were 2-bolt. Have yet to see an aftermarket 4 bolt block break.

    strange thunk sound

    The metal tubes that the rubber busings go in needs to be tack welded to the crossmember. Any muffler shop could do it for cheap or free.

    Going To The Track, Need Better Belts, and or Roll Cage?

    FYI, a 4-point cage isnt NHRA legal to race in a vert. Need at least 5 points. Also, most racing harness' are Track legal but NOT DOT approved so you run the risk of getting a ticket.

    Need help w/ my 85 302...cam? GT40 heads?

    Aren't the explorer heads the GT-40p's? If so, your headers may not work. Spark plug angles are different.

    289 Roller retrofit

    If you're going to bore it later, you're going to need new pistons again. Kind of a waste of money. Why dont you just get a 5.0 block instead of trying to retrofit the roller? They're cheap enough to get.
