I figure if I'm going to restore the car, I should spend some time making it go fast.
I want to keep it fuel injected, 302 block and it's probably going to get stroked to 331. Going to keep it NA as well.
What's the best motor to start with? Almost everything on it will likely be replaced with aftermarket - intake, exhaust, maybe heads. I know I'll need a Panther oil pan and I will almost definitely need to go mass air.
I am leaning towards an exploder motor but I don't know lots about them, I've just read a bit here and there on here.
give me your thoughts on my build idea. I wanna hear what you would do to build a complete fuel injected 302 motor to make my P72 go fast. It's gonna have 3.55s behind it, FWIW. I'm keeping the AOD or a reasonable facsimile.
criteria:
- reasonable budget (something a working mechanic could save his pennies for)
- 302, i would like to stroke it to 331
- fuel injected
- cobra cam (It's the cam I've got now, I'm open to something else but this is basically a HO cam with more lift so i'm fine with it unless you've got something better in mind?)
