Ok well i am doing a 302 conversion (taking it out of a VERY rust eaten 1969 mustang and dropping it into my 1969 mustang coupe)

Engine Build:
302
AFR 165 cc non-emissions legal heads
E303 Cam (Ford Racing) 282/282 at .498 (220/220 at .5 i think it says)
Edelbrok Performer Intake
Holley 650 cfm Carb
Hedders Headers?

Was wondering what kind of horsepower/torque #'s you think it would get

Also with a aod trans and a 3.73 rear what kind of 1/4 would you guess?

i would say between 320 and 350 hp, and close to 400ft/lbs of torque. it will bea solid motor thats for sure. as for 1/4 mile times, if you can get your 60ft times into the 1.70-1.80 range, you should be running about mid 12's roughly.

I would use a Performer RPM intake instead of the Performer. Everything else in your package matches up well to the RPM.

I agree with the hp/tq estimates...but I see mid to high13's.

Wrong Cam choice

If I remember correctly the E303 is for a roller block. If the engine coming out of the donor is of the same vintage it will be a non-roller block.
