whats a mexican 302 block

[shttygtstang]

like the thread says

 

[mattkimsey]

they have thicker webbing of the main journal and sidewalls

 

[shttygtstang]

like a dart

 

[mattkimsey]

I dont think they are that strong....i believe they are just slightly stronger than the stock 302 block and weaker than the sportsman block

 

[shttygtstang]

what would one go for

 

[mattkimsey]

$200-300??

Wasn't there an article awhile back in 5.0 or MM&FF comparing the different styles/years of the 302's? I believe it said it was just a myth about how much the Mexican block was "stronger" then the regular production 5.0s.

 

[shttygtstang]

can some one tell me with certainty if there good or not

 

[mattkimsey]

The myth was about the mexican block having higher amounts of nickel in it, which it doesnt.

 

[shttygtstang]

is it better than a stock 302
