Default HP Estimation?

Not to knowlegable about the 302...would one of you be willing to give me a ballpark number to expect out of this combination?

Port/Polished heads, E-cam, Shorty headers, H-pipe, Flomasters, CAI, UDP? Going through a World Class T-5 in a 95 GT

Wow, I wasn't far off from that with the sixer. I'm sure the torque will make up for it. Think a 351 swap is worth the weight for a street/road race application?

Sure it is. But have youever thought about a stroker? They are cheap and make big numbers.

Hmm, what kind of money am I looking at to put together a good N/A short block? This is one thing that excites me about 302s, cost effectiveness.

Well you can have an awesome short block 347ci Stroker ready to drop in from Fordstrokers.com for 1700 bux. You can't beat that. I had my engine builder here in CA build my 331ci Stroker fully forged for just under 1650. And with a good HCI you can expect ~400hp with a well built/balanced stroker.

With the setup you named in the original post, you would absolutely need a aftermarket intake to make braggable numbers
