Ok guys got everything sorted out, got it in good time, all set. Car pulls like a freight train after 3000 rpm's, it will spin all the way to 7 or 8 ifI let it. I found out all the mods on the motor to.

This should be good for some HP, I will not totally know whats going on until I get the 4.10 gear in and have the tranny modded to accomidate. The guy suggested the motor to be in the 400+ range. I will have it dyno'd as soon as I can get evreything into action.

Unless i'm missing something, i don't see that making over 250 rwhp. That...and there's no way you should be running up to 7 or 8K rpms [&:]

i agree man...you are nowhere near 400hp...and word of warning, you keep revving it up to 7 or 8k, and BOOM

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, I think the part list is legit as I can see almost all of the mods myself. He told me the hp was in that range, but i am thinking more in the 300 (at the crank)range myself, as I have not had any experience with ford motors I wanted to see what you guys thought. I will have the car dyno'd and find out exactly what I have asap, but I will wait till I have gone through the tranny and the rear, and if this motor will not spin 7000 grand now, it will when I am done. I have never owned a small block that wouldn't turn that without problems. I am going to purchase another short block 302 and build a stroker this winter for a winter project. I have not built a ford motor yet and have been dieing to do so,lol. If I can squeeze 475 hp out of a 305 GM then I know I can do the same with the 5.0 302, overall it is a much better design than the 305. I will keep you guys updated.

Something smells funny.

you spin a stock external balance 50 ounce 302 bottom end up that high and the mains and or rods are gonna grow some wings.....you also better have one heck of a cam and intake combo, which I don't see you having or that thing will run out of steam long before then.......if your going off a factory tach, I wouldn't trust that too much for pin point accuracy
