some girls are nicer than others :-X



































































high output......and non high output. The important differences between the 302 and 302HO's are forged pistons, 351W firing order (due to cam design) on HO's and heads. The HO's received the better parts and had a slight increase in horsepower and torque because of this. If you are looking for a base engine to tear into, change the pistons, cam and heads don't bother with the HO. All of the parts you will be replacing are the parts that make the HO different.

My auto mech teacher told us that the HO motors had bigger rod bolts.

Ok,so if i get this non HO with roller rockers, the guy said the firing order is 1-5-4-3-6-2-7-8 so all would have to do is switch the plug wires around to match the HO right? oh yea and switch cams...
