I have a Gt 302 HO 4bbl. Conv. all numbers match, I am completley restoring the car, right now it is a bare shell and going in for a Candy Apple Plum paint with custom Horses airbrushed where the decals all go, I am having issues finding parts for a 85 carbd ho, can someone tell me thedifference between the HO and regular 302, I would greatly appreciate it, I will post pics as each step progresses
 
The difference is mainly the firing order. The HO uses the 351W firing order, which uses a different cam along with it. As for parts, what are you looking for that you can't find?
 
I need a complete rebuild kit, I have crank, heades, block (.30) over, heads are stock milled
.10, block milled .10, heads ported and polished, my rods and pistons disappeared, I bought a new cam kit .544 lift, nothing to radical, I also bought a new set of BRK pistons .30 over but they turn out to be to radical for a street machine, Running original T-5, but have a dana 44 4.11 rearend. The shell is being painted Thursday and The custom paint shop is going to do the doors, fenders etc in stages.
 
Did I miss something? Did you get your car painted?! :shock:


No, sadly that's just a picture of it in the rain (you mean the sig pic right?)

That's the only good profile shot i have with the new wheels on it, but with matching colored doors. It has maroon doors on it at the moment and a bunch of grey primer spots where i've been doing body work.
