So I bought a couple 67 coupes yesterday and they came with a few different goodies in terms of spare engine parts. I want to build a nice engine for one of the cars. I try not to do anything with engines and leave it to the pro's, but I want to atleast have some background before I start looking for a shop to do the work. The parts I got were;
-stock 302 block that has some damage to one of the cylinders. I think it will be reusable if I want.
-brand new set of Edelbrock victor Jr heads. I can pull the PN if there is a big difference.
-A Weiand tunnel ram intake with dual 4barrel edelbrock carbs. Not sure how great the carbs are, they are basically new, but I will not use this intake.
So should I just buy a shortblock from CHP or Ford and throw these heads on with a decent intake? I want to keep the car very streetable, but would like to get around the 400hp mark.
Should I sell everything and start fresh? If I were, what is a good 302 block to start with, the newer 5.0's?
Thanks for any advice.
