302

Hello! I am somewhat new to engines and working on them, but I'm not completely dumb. A few months ago i bought a running 5.0 302 to swap into my 1995 240sx. The 5.0 was already in a 240sx, just an earlier model. This was a turn-key swap, minus cleaning up the bad wiring and a driveshaft that...

Hello all, I am new to forums in general and I thought the perfect time to join one is when I purchased a classic mustang. Anyways the problem I'm having is whenever I hit the gas hard, the car hesitates for about 2-3 seconds then finally revs up and goes. Its pretty bothersome and annoying...

Hi, New to this forum. Wondering if anyone would have any suggestions on a vibration that is felt from 2300rpm+ which is making my car pretty unbearable to drive at any speed above 45.. I've replaced the ujoints front and rear on the driveshaft this past summer. Tires are "fairly" new but it...

Hey guys, new to the group and the proud new owner of a 1986 302 GT, been on my car bucket list since I can remember, lots of plans! So here's the scoop; I traded the my 4runner for the car knowing it needed some work. Drove it for a few days before I went to go out and she wouldn't crank...

Hey guys, I'm new here and am going to look at a 67 coupe tomorrow. They say that it has a 302 in it, but I'm trying to find out if its a 302 and not a 289 for sure. I know its not easy to tell unless you know what to look for. I know they didn't put the 302 in until a little ways into 68, but...

Again hope it is cool to ask Cougar questions here since they are so close to stangs. But hey I just bought a 68 cougar from a guy. Runs and starts perfect but it over heats. I feel pressure building in the top hose so I thought thermostat. Changed that and the hose and I am still experiencing...

Sorry if this is ill placed or the wrong place to ask. But I am buying a 68 cougar and the gentleman is saying it came stock with a 351 cleveland. According to my knowledge and decoding the vin that was not a option. But not to say one was not put in there at some point, how can I identify the...

The problem I'm having is that the car had this motor sitting in it when I bought it but was not hooked up! Missing water pump bolts and from the look of the serpentine belt it might be from a early 70s f100. Serpentine belt is not properly put on so I'm going to need a kit, so my question is...

Hello everyone! So I'll make this short n sweet. I bought a basket case and I'm not giving up on this one. So with that said I need help with where to buy bolts and nuts that did go with this 1966 coup? Also was a straight six and came with a 302 with some sort of serpetine belt set up. Dose not...

Hello Stangnet! I've noticed the C4 in my '67 vert is starting to take a while to engage when cold. I realize that this may mean a rebuild to replace all the worn junk inside. Not sure of the history of the tranny, but suspect it has never been rebuilt. Right now, I have the numbers-matching...

Hello guys so I got a couple questions regarding upgrading my 302. From my knowledge the car is a stock bottom end with gt40p heads and the guy claimed to be gt40 intakes but I think there an explorer intake. So i was thinking of upgrading my cam and intakes to get some more power out of it...

Ok so i have an 88 GT and want to throw in a blue print engine with 390hp. The only problem is, its carbuerated but can be fuel injected, but it did say not compatible with stock fuel injection. So i looked at some websites and it said my car is speed density efi. It said i needed to convert to...

I thought I would share a recent experience with the lowly thermostat housing. I wanted a new one and these are easy to acquire aftermarket for most any 289/302/351W from the 60s to the 90s. After installing with the paper gasket and some Form-a-Gasket No. 2, it promptly blew out the gasket...
