hey guys new to the forum and to building engines but hey we all start somewhere right? Anyway I have my old all original 80' fox body with a a straight 6 but I wanna build a 302 for it I have currently a complete 302 out of my 72 f-100 I put a cleveland in. I would like to build. My question is how much cost wise would I be looking at to build the engine I have good forged aluminum Pistons and a lunati cam and lifters I would like to go the edelbrock performer intake and 600cfm carb and a good set of heads but can't decide on gt-40s or old 351 heads. Anyone able to help?
