intake runner pic

what the hell does this mean, is my block a or something

\M/

damn you ford racing

what it's going in...

well, let me know what you guys think.

the block is getting completely stripped of it's paint and getting painted duplicolor's high temp aluminum. lol oh and the timing cover is getting re-sealed

good lookin motor man. Yeah all the stock blocks have XXX on them. And yes they are s.

 

[carbed87]

sweet

 

[grey5.0beast]

Thats pretty BA

nice graffiti on the chair

is the throttle linkage actually hitting the valve cover?

 

[GTOreturns]

Make the writting on the Intake "red" like the valve covers! JMO.

 

[fivespeedsteed]

i second what gto says. that sucks your gonna have to notch you vc to make the throttle body cable clear.

bad-ass carbed!!

 

[carbed87]

no, it just means i'll have to find an intake spacer to clear everything. for now i have some stockies that are painted duplicolors high temp aluminum. they look good too so i'll just have to put those on for now.

are you planning on putting a cowl hood on it? i thought i heard of clearance issues with stock hoods with those bbk intakes...much less with spacers. just food for thought, i may be wrong

 

[carbed87]

your probably right, which means after i get the motor in i might be going without a hood for a while lol. we'll just have to see i guess.

 

[MAC'n89Blckstng]

the xxx means its a stock block, nothing special. the yyy blocks have a higher nickel content or something

 

[stanger86]

nice good luck

 

[fivespeedsteed]

is it common to be able to find these kinds of 302's for that much money?

is it common to be able to find these kinds of 302's for that much money?

depends.. if you have connections in the ford world then yes you could.. knowing people helps.. if any kind of mustang or ford parts are forsale around here.. i usually get word of it first

 

[carbed87]

i got mine off of corral

Nice score on the motor. You shouldn't have any problems with the intake height really. A buddy of mine has one in a fox and it hit by like a 1/16 of an inch. You can trim the brace for the hood and it will be OK, or get drop mounts for your motor. The BBK is a great intake BTW. Nice flow numbers and you don't have to pull it to get the valve covers off. I wish they made them for the 351w

First, you do know that engine isn't carbed right? So much for your screen name


Second, XXX means your block is officially licensed by Vin Diesel.


Third, i was thinking maybe paint the red in the valve cover lettering a silver to match the intake (i think someone mentioned painting the intake to match the valves covers...i just like silver better than the red).
