well welcome to this side....
And remember, you will start finding lots of weak links when you throw a lot of power at a pretty stock mustang, Trans will probably be shot in a week, depending on the milage, the rear will start to go, so on so forth
Not to mention the fox bodies stock suspension isnt the best

Unless he is boosting it or sucking down a lot of NNNNAAAAWWWWWSSSSS there is no reason to go to a boss block with a 302. He won't build enough power to break it. The stock 302 block can handle up to about 500hp.
