Hi all, looking to drop a 302 in my '68 Stang. Does anyone know of a good shop in the Seattle area that sells quality long blocks? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I have to ask a lot of questions here, just because I'm nosey.
Is your current engine ruined? Are you interested in upgrading anything on the car? If the motor is bad, and the trans is stock, now might be a good time to look into fuel injection and overdrive.

As far as long blocks go, NAPA, and most major parts houses offer them, with some kind of waranty...

you will probably have better luck in the NW forum. There are quite a few washington members who post there.

Sure do, I had my 302 built at Waterhouse Motors in Tacoma. They have some engines prebuilt or can put one together for you from mild to wild. You can specify exactly what you want for parts and services.

Yup, I was trying to trim down the herd. I put it up for $150 and some guy came and towed it off.

Then I saw it on craigslist a few weeks later and the guy was asking $1000.
