Do you guys think i could find a fresh 302 (or even a 351)shortblock in my area if i did some serious looking?
Whoops i meant for $500

 

well ill be damned it looks like i have a phone call to make tomorrow. someone else can have the 429

you mean with just the block, pistons, cam, etc. MAYBE. I just saw one today, looked alright. I dont know he if wanted to get rid of it though. HE also had some 351 heads, and i really want them. The valves on them were HUGE!!!

 

That one on craigslist is a mexican block. Is this good or bad?

 

Mexican block is good. More nickel in the iron and a beefier block.

 

hey, when you call, ask him about some bigger heads for a 289 for me. i need some...........

 

Okay, thanks i will give the guy a call tomorrow after school.
Ill ask about the bigger heads too.

 

YES. Thanks. Bigger is better. I think i saw something about gt heads, but i dont know what they fit on or anything. Good luck with the engine dude. i'd get the 427..... j/k, WAY TOO BIG

 

it would require me to remove the shocks.

 

yeah, the towers... etc. Extensive work would have to be done, not worth it at all.
