The 302 I have in the coupe is shot, and I've been on the hunt for a reasonable priced shortblock to replace it. Came across a good deal on a 94' roller 351w out of a lightening locally. So now the questions on what I can use off of my 78' 302...
(I haven't even went to look at it or really talked to the guy yet, so that will probably answer some of my questions but here goes anyway...)
I know most of the obvious, intake, exhaust issues, alt brackets, etc... but not sure about some things.
1. Should I be able to reuse the heads that were on my 302 (ported, polished, bigger valved e7 heads), assuming I need new headbolts/studs? How about pushrods??
2. Motor mounts and all that will be the same correct?
3. Doesn't come with pullies, will I have to buy some new ones? Balancer? Flexplate?
4. Guessing I'll need a new distributer too, with gear for a roller cam.
Anything else i'm missing?
Also curious if anyone knows much about these motors. I'm guessing hyper pistions? Does it have a decent cam in it or should I work on finding one?
,
BTW, all this going in the 68' coupe with a t70 turbo and spraying meth through a C4. Should be fun
