I would like to know the stock HP that this engine comes with I'm thinking of buying it for my mustnag. It's a 1968 Ford mustang 302 motor C80E 4V. I originally have the 200ci and want to do the V8 conversion. and this engine is at a very good price.

Thanks, Do you know where I would be able to find how much Horse power this engine is actually producing stock. My goal is to push as much as I can just with bolt-ons, I'm thinking of putting some 69 351W Heads on the engine but I would like to find out how much would I be pushing with the beggining HP. Thanks. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I would look for a roller short block from a Fox body Mustang and use iron GT40s or GT40Ps rather than 351 heads.

The numbers above are stock at the flywheel with no accessories on the motor.

I would like to add that the original motor came with 10 to 1 compression ratio. Might need that when you are selecting heads.
