Hey guys. I just bought a 302 block to start a project motor with. The block is in great shape. I bought it as a 97 roller cam block.
My first question is. I'm not sure it's a roller motor. How can I be sure? I've never worked on a roller cam motor before so I'm not sure what makes it one. This is the block I got.
Next question is what Cars came with 302's in 97? I'm assuming it was just the trucks and explorer?
And last (for now) I heard the stock cranks are bullit proof. I'm looking to build a turbo motor to make around 500-600 hp. Will a stock crank work or should I look into getting a forged Crank?
Thanks,
Mike
