A buddy of mines brother is pulling the 302 out of his 88 F-150 to put in a 351 he built, and is going to sell the 302. I was wondering if this would make a good engine to build for my '65. Can anybody tell me anything about this 302? I haven't been able to find much info on the truck 302's, are they the same as the Mustangs or are they a different casting? Should it be a roller block? How would I tell without tearing into it?
He want's to sell it complete with the FI system, but that should be the speed density stuff which I probably wouldn't want. He's going out at $400 complete. He still has it in his truck so I can see how it runs, it has approx. 120K on it, so it may need some work, but I don't know how much. I'd probably do a compression test on it.
Any thoughts? Is it a bad year for 302's?
