Just looked at Brenspeeds web site, they are coming out with there own built 302 stoker. Price about 3300.00 sounds like a pretty good deal.

 

I'm happy about this. They offer 281 or 302. But it seems they're setup for FI with lower than stock compression. So I guess anyone that wants a high compression N/A setup may be SOL?

Still an excellent deal.

 

glad i have not pulled the trigger on the frpp short block

 

I've already emailed Chandler about the 302. Me and my buddy are considering both betting them, though I'll have to get a few additional mods at the same time and he's basically set with his current fuel system and drive shaft.

I've only had the blower on for about a month so I don't want to jump the gun on going all out, but this is a great deal by a great company...

 

If $3300 is the guesstimate price of the 302, anyone think we can get the forged 281 for less than 3k?

 

i hope so. would be nice to get a forged block for less than 3 grand

 

I just scheduled my install for the 302...can not wait....

 

Ok educate me as I am not a mechanic. What else do you need to purchase to make this engine work? Or what does it NOT include?

$3300 seems inexpensive for a whole new engine.....but WTF do I know. If I blow out my motor thats all its gonna cost me.....plus install obviously? What its hp and torque ratings?

It isn't a whole new engine, it just just the short block.

$3300 is misleading because there are still installation and tuning costs, other parts, etc.

HP and TQ will depend on what mods you have/transfer over and what you add. Also the tune is probably a huge factor.

 

I know this is a lame question but whats in a short block? Flame away guys....LOL
