Im looking for aa new 302 short block and then making the balance changes. anyone done this/looked into this? ford racing short block is selling for 1300. It looks to be a just a basic block with hypereutectic pistons. any thoughts?

 

I just bought me a Ford Racing 302 GT-40 . Everything is going great and i love the motor !!!!

 

Given it to do over again, I would have bought a crate short block and stuffed my own cam and heads on. Can't go wrong with a factory crate.

By the time you rebuild a shortblock, soup to nuts, you will be about even money as a crate.
Get the crate and be done with it.

 

did ford supply theconversion flywheel and the 50 harmonic balancer? and did you have to make any other changes?

 

i already got the top end i want( i slowly build up my 289).
