302 suck the blocks crack after 400hp because of the nickel go 350 chevy if you want power theose things are ******* rediculous

 

ummm...no

 

i dont think i would ever buy anything as big as a turbo kit on ebay


as for mustangs there are a very select few of the newer ones that i would actually drive no matter how fast they are.... the best mustangs were made all the way back in the 60s. for example:

 

umm yes
Aford-2bolt main windsor blockis not good for more than 400horse. Reliable wise. Unless the person is going to use a valley girdle and a main web girdle for extra strength.
Plus most windsor blocks had very low nickle content which isnt good for more than 450horse. Sure you could run 400+ maybe even 600 but it would be a matter of time before the block splits clean down the middle. Go on streetfire.net and look up How the stock ford block gave up or blew up. Thats a video of a 5.0 mustang going down a strip and blows the block clean in half. If the 302 is i believe a 72 or 74 and prior year casting date-its good for making power. If its a run of the mill 75+ 302 windsor-its just a disaster waiting to happen! Tell him to look up jegs/summit for aftermarket windsor blocks. Even any aftermarket cast iron block would have a much higher nickle content garunteed.

 

a stock block handling 500hp ain't shabby and the mexican blocks can handle slightly more. or you can get an aftermarket 302 shortblock for ~2 grand which can handle way more power. and to be honest if your aiming for over 500hp, your not gona be looking at a stock 302 out of a foxbody.

and what do you mean "tell him to look up jegs" who's him? or did u just copy and paste that from somewhere?

 

its a old myspace message didnt feel like typing the same **** up since its late but you get my point if you want reliable pushrod power only gm and mopar can do it imo. even though fords look better. fords modular engines suck i basicly only dig theyre diesel

 

Yea 400+ horse would crack many a 2 bolt main, you need to go four bolt to build big power. Of course stock stuff is going to break when your talking 400+ ponies. thats a lot of stress of a motor. but regardless it was just a weird find on ebay, seeing what the prices are on true stuff its a joke to think of using that as something to make real power.
