Ive got a good amount of experience with stangs, and ill tell you a gt40/e303 is the weakest setup you can make for a 5l poostang.
Although if you start building that high rpm power on 302s they run pretty well, and never had one crack. Just lucky i guess.

Dont the blocks crack in 1/2 when you build over 500 horse with the 302? Thats why they sell those faggy girdles to help hold em toghether. the 351 block you can stroke to like 408 fairly cheap and the block doesnt split in half. Either way you still just have a ford

The safest (only?) way to make a 302 REALLY powerful and be fairly reliable is to replace every single part that came as a part of the motor from the factory. I can understand the rotating assembly and heads/cam, but I'd like to atleast be able to keep the factory block. And for the average street-strip car a heads/cam 351W would run harder than a heads/cam 302. Are you saying that the 302 is a better motor than the 351?

good raceing.I never did like those shitty ford 347 motor kits.They are all peice of ****.80 percent of everything i smoked has had a junky asz 347 in it.junk.my buddy put one in his scotsdale and it had american pride headers , junky *** edelbrock carbrator , mallory distributor , and it had some shitty ford racing cam in it.Anyways i smoked it bad.It had to be at least 23 cars ,would have been worse but i had a blowout POWW and had to stop raceing but he flew by me and said he won but i really smoked him.
Yep.
How about a 302 stroked mod motor?

Good kill. As far as the rest of the thread. I've seen some pretty nasty 302 and 351 builds. I've also seen some complete garbage. It all depends on the combo. Both engines have their pluses and minuses they also have ways to get around the minuses.

There is something mismatched on the Mustang for your car to pull him. When my 98 was modded the same as yours(before the stall) I raced my buddys 95 Cobra. Stock heads with a cam and Trickflow trackheat intake, full boltons and 4.10's. From a dig to about 75ish I couldnt even pull him a full car length. I know from a roll with his 5speed and gears he would have given me a hell of a race too. With that intake it pulled fairly hard up top. A win is a win regardless. Not your fault the tard wasted his money on parts that dont produce the power they should. Good kill.

For some guys that think the 5l blocks are shitty, i've help build 302 motors that will dominant vettes, ams, camaros, ferraris,turboed cars, s/c cars, basically anything you can throw at it.
They are good motors from what ive seen, and yeah they can crack but ive never had one crack on me, even motors pushing 500+ flywheel.
On any motor you have to order the intuitive parts. Or else it fails. Its simple, you do, and it runs, you dont and you can take a average ls1 with suckage parts and blow it away with a poostang with intuitive parts.
