carbed set up question
A little background info...I bought a 94 mustang gt w/ a 302 in it (was missing the wiring harness,and basically the whole EFI system) so I decided to go carbed instead, as the car will not be a daily driver and it was just easier and cheapier to do. I bought an edelbrock torkerII intake and a holley 600 cfm carb...any idea on how much power I should be expecting to make?

yeah...I know its way too big. I am planning on building the engine though...I was just wondering how much power I should expect to be make w/ this setup. I guess the first place to start with the engine is the cam...then heads. Is it true that gt40 heads came in 98 explorers?

lmao yall need to read a edelbrock catalog,or website..the torqer2 set up is for light cars,and the rpm intake beats the torqer any day as well as all otheres up to like 5800 rpms then like the vic jrs takes over..all mags have had shoot outs and the rpm is king of street ...just by a few hp but every lil hp helps..torqer loses alotta low end torq vs rpm too..if ya get the cam,carb,intake ya will usually get about 30-40 hp edelbrock says.. make sure ya pistons will tke a larger cam..and ya will need a stall to usually.. when i put a perf set up not rpm justa perf cam,carb 600, intake 2121 i made 190 rwhp in a lb f100 and 246bs torq.. motor was 210 factory i think..at fly..

I don't know what was the worse choice. The Holley, or the T II.
Performer or Performer RPM with an EDL carb would be a much better option.
You should have posted before you spent any money.

I paid $300 for the carb, intake, air cleaner, and holley blue pump....I dont think that's too bad of a deal. I know I should have gone with a different intake...or at least should have looked into it more, but I figured the intake was decent enough. One things for sure...Im learning a lot.
My new dilemma is the distributor...The mustang started as av6, the previous owner blew the 6 up and started on a v8 swap. So the 302 is out of a '92 truck....I have no wiring so Iguess I need to go with a vaccuum advance distributor -- is this even possible? I know there's certain gears on the distributor that work with certain cams...and im pretty much lost on that... Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have a distributor off a carburated 351...if I took the cam out of it and put it in my 302, would that work?
sorry if these are dumb questions...Im just lost at this point. I wouldnt even be bothering with the car but I got a killer deal on it. When I'm done with everything I expect to have $2000-2500 in it, including the car.
