Well since I'm rebuilding my 67' (motor, trans, rear end suspension) My mechanic has come across a supercharged 302 from a 1989 Mustang. It gets 550hp from this block but I want my car naturally aspirated. It apperently has around 15k on it. This motor is EFI too. I've never dealt with anything but carbs.

Without this advanced stage paxton supercharger, is it still easy to get 400 or so hp at the crank? I do know the motor has world heads. I was thinking of swapping heads and keeping it EFI. I just need a little input since I've never had EFI nor an engine that was previously blown.

+1, I just got done putting a blower on my EFI 302 thanks to the help on this site. It goes to the tuner on Tuesday for a custom chip. I can't wait to see how things turn out.
