not to steal the post but are the stock drain plugs magnetic? i forgot to check mine yesterday when i changed my oil. What do you think would be wiser, one of the filter magnets or mag drain plugs

hey i can see in your picture that you have the comp polymer upper plenum. Do you have that bolted to the stock lower? whats your feelings about it? would you recomend using that over switching to a cobra intake, tfs, etc.?

No they don't come stock I bought a magnetic one.
I'm afraid I stripped something important inside like a rod bolt. I mean what else has threads in there besides bad things

well this sucks im screwed. and im not going to be driving it now.i geuss it will sit .
im thinking of building a stroker motor with a differant block, but im on such a budget that its not happening any time soon. infact it might be better to just sell it at this point and take all the good stuff off it. im kinda wanting a 94-95 or a 99

If your motor isn't pulled out or torn apart too much already just put it back together and drive it. Its not like a 302 is expensive or anything. If something breaks then it breaks, you are already panning a stroker anyway.

Run it until she blows!
