RE: HORSE POWER QUESTION
needs some heads, the early 80's 302 didn't push out much horse, i would also recommened a roller conversion, not till 85 did the come roller cam. you can check your gears by jacking the rear up marking the reap wheel and driveshaft, put the car in neutral then turn the driveshaft. If it turns 3 ans 3/4 turns to 1 spin then you got 3.73

he does have a point tho we can throw numbers at you but unless u give us really good specs of everything on the car and the condition of hte engine itself along with the drivetrain... which u for got to mention what kind of tranny u have btw.... then we cant really tell u.... well i beat a grand that if u dyno'd it u would have between 175rwhp and 300rwhp..... but im sure u could guess that too.... personally i think ull have 220... but thats very uneducated is mostly a blind guess.... so yep... more info or just get dyno sheet.... if u want mroe power u can do about a billion differnet things so take your pick
