i talked to a man who has dont A LOT of work on 302's, has a procharged 302 and i would like to know if he was correct when he told me that a 1988 302 has forged internals. i want to know this because i want to procharge it, mabey even turbo charge it. any info would be awsome. (i am so done with this damn 2.3)
