Guess some of you might have seen the crate motor for sale in the paper(Hsv. Times), well I decided to buy it since mine has over 150K on it. It's a 302 with aluminum heads and an E303 cam, 340hp and roller rocker arms. Deron Shady will be installing it for me. Should be in the car sometime in the next month. I don't want to think about what I'll have invested in this car but when I'm done but pretty much everything will be new or rebuilt. Should be a great driver though.

 

That sounds good. thats some good horsepower

 

Sweet deal....
What will you do with the original in it?

 

Deron and I are probably going to do some horse trading, my motor, the valve covers on the new motor & some cash for labor to install the new motor.

 

Dangit.

Good luck!

 

Wow that will be impressive in that car. Congrats man.

 

Here's a pic of the motor. Intake does not come with it.

 

Just a little update. I'm waiting on a few parts to come in and then Deron said he could possbly get started on it the first of the year. Got new BBK shorty headers, a gear drive(off Ebay), chrome oil pan, Mustang(running horse) chrome pan bolts, upper/lower control arms & front bushings(5.0 Resto). Going to have the intake hopefully powdercoated black.

 

Well, I bought a Black powdercoated intake off Ebay, should be here in a few days. Dropped off the parts at Deron's today. He's buying the motor in the car for his nephews car, so hopefully I won't come out too bad on labor. I'm just ready to get the car running and then in the paint booth. April will be faster then you think. I still have to put it back together when Matthew's done with it.

 

Excellent Skip that engine is going to be awesome. If you need any help putting it back together or whatever let me know man.

 

Thanks Byron. I will remember your offer. Talked to Kris Walker today, he also offered to help.

 

I haven't seen Kris in a long time. Hell, I haven't seen any of you guys in a long time, LOL

 

We need to get out more often. HAHAHA I don't make the DQ meets anymore because I'm off on Wednesday and that's an pretty long trek from my house.
