RE: look at this 302
yes, very very very similar results.
keep in mind they used the ford roller cam in that swap. you NEED a better cam, the stock flat tappets were so weak in the ***** dept.

RE: look at this 302
based on my experience with ebay crate engines is that they are off ebay. If you get this and something isn't right or say it has a tick who gets to be the one to fix it, who pays for the labor to remove it if it needs to come out? How tough is it going to be when and if the problem needs to be fixed and needs to be shipped back.

Not only that, but I do NOT see them getting 420/430 from a 302 with TFS TW heads and cam. Most of the 9.5:1 setups running those heads and a TFS cam are making like 270rwhp, which is maybe 350 at the crank. 420/430 if they dyno'd it on 75 of nitrous, or with no accessories in a pressurized room.
A 347, yeah, maybe a 331, but not a 302.

I'm sure if you shop around at local shops they will build you one for almost the same price with better parts...

I would pass on that engine The engine may have problems even they don't know about this engine up for auction has never run but is the same combination I also don't see anything about a warranty. Take a look at these engine every engine is dynoed and warrantried and as I think everyone knows I do work there machining blocks.
