Im rebuilding my 302 and cant decide between puting new 302 internals in it. Or a 306 kit from dnd this engine is gonna be run at about 6-10 lbs of boost i am buying the vortech next week to get the most expensive thing outa the way right now here is my plan..................(tell me what you think)

302 or 306
gt-40 heads w/1.7 rr's
custom ground blower cam
TRICK FLOWS new box style intake
vortech sc-trim w/anderson powerpipe
maybe 24lb injectors depending on how the dyno run goes.

does this sound like a good combo for 350+ rwhp?

Click to expand...

I think you would get the power but you need to get bigger injectors...maybe 36's....???

I plan on doing a combo similar to yours eventually...

The Trick Flow box intake..umm NO...COMPLETE OVERKILL for a 306 with Gt40 heads. They would be a massive restriction with that intake and boost.
I concur with above..36lb injectors with boost.
ID go with some tfs or afr head 185 heads
id also recommend the holley systemmax upper and lower

1991 5.0 - fires up every time, idles perfectly, but once it’s warm it won’t idle for more than 15 seconds
