I am putting a carberated 302 in my 87 fox. The motor is a 76 bronco 302. I have added a edelbrock performer intake, Holley 600 carb, i ported the stock close chamber heads, and im adding a lunati chydralic flat tappet cam with around a .500" lift. I have a stock H pipe with gutted cats, stock 5.0 headers, the motor has new main bearing and rod bearings to tighten up the bottom end. Other than that the motor has 70K on it, but is in great condidtion. I have Accel 8MM plug wires and a Accel Super stock coil. What kind of power can i expect to get out of the motor? Im hoping for 300 flywheel HP. With the motor and the mods, is 300 a reasonable number to expect? I am going to be using my 4 cyl T-5 and rear gears so it will be quicker anyways. I will be using a electric fan also. Is 300 hp a mnumber that i shouldnt be afraid to expect out of the combo? tell me what you think, and list your like combos with power rating for reference.
Can i expect 300HP with this combo?

ehhh i dont know man....i would expect maybe 275 at the most....im not sure what the bottom end of a 76 bronc consists of (comp ratio and what not). My combo is listed below and i have a lot more bottom end work and higher compression. LIghtly worked stock heads w/ a good 3 angle and all the other BS listed in my sig and i would say i prolly only have about 300 fwhp. maybe give us some more specs on the bottom end of a 76 302! good luck man
