well I have a 302 mexican block a brand new ford crankshaft, a crane cams 278 H-2, a holly street dominator intake, a holly 600 double pumper, the heads are 302 with screw in studes quide plates and roller rockers, a aluminum high performance water pump. all i need are rings and a timing chain im geting close!

 

whats the diff betwen a usa block and a mexican block?

 

the Mexican one smells like an El Camino...

 

mexican 302 blocks are a higher nickel content and also have larger main caps ( the same as a 289 hipo) . these blocks are prized by people doing stroker kits!

heres the diffrence being discussed!

NICE!

Can't wait to see it all put together

 

Have you seen the differance in even a HI-PO block from a windsor? I couldn't believe my eyes. but then again the windsor isn't a serious revver

 

Got mine to go up in the 6500's! Ain't bad...

 

Shouldn't that carb be a Holley 650?

Seriously, this looks like a fun project.
Keep us informed.
And pics... Lot's of pics...

 

NOPE NOT A 650 Holly carb..list#4776 thats a 600 double pumper!
