302:
stock bottom end with 69' rods, stock forged pistons, b 303 cam, trick flow high port heads, vic jr, 650 dp, 150 shot?


i've got the short block sitting around, and am contimplating just throwing it in while my 13.5:1 block is being built.

im trying to go 10's in my 2800 lb sn95 with FULL race suspension ( drag bags, coilovers etc.) this season and im not sure if my other motor will be done in time... what you guys think?

 

not long expecially if ya' addin' juice to the mix

 

hrm... since when did SN-95's have forged pistons?

 

sorry its a carbeurated, 302 out of a 93

 

ok.. so it still doesnt have forged pistons

 

im unsure of the year of the pistons guy, i was told they are the stock forged foxbody pistons

 

take it easy there little fella.... I just dont want you to get upset when you melt a piston.... because they arent forged

87-92 pistons were forged, and had the proper valve reliefs for 1.9" intake/1.6" exhaust valves

 

itll last a long time if the tune is good, and you will need much more to run 10's with that mild build

 

Your not gonna melt a piston when its hypo. The piston is just gonna blow to pieces. A forged piston will melt and cause less damage to the motor to an extent.

 

depending on ur gears/tranny u can hope for 11s... but i doubt 10s
