Head bolts? Dunno if you ford boys re use em or not..

[GP99GT]

good call, i have a new set of ARP head bolts

edit: they can be reused if theyre cleaned well so you get the correct torque reading

[LTb1ow]

Spark plugs and wire kit?

[GP99GT]

got new wires, cap, rotor, and coil on the car...and yes i have plugs sitting here somewhere that are 1 heat range colder. another good call

[LTb1ow]

Fluids and what not?

[sweetbmxrider]

valve cover gaskets in the intake set?

[LTb1ow]

Is this a OHC engine?

I dunno if you have done it, but while the heads off it would be an easy time to replace springs and what not.

[GP99GT]

valve cover gaskets i just put on...they should still be good for reusing

motor is OHV...ford 302

fluids i can get anytime, im really just looking for stuff id have to order at this point...im not doing the job myself btw.

springs on the heads will be fine, im keeping the stock cam

[LTb1ow]

Pft stock cam! Go big or go home!

[GP99GT]

thought about it....but theres much more that i need to do before i need more power :lol:

cant go much over .510 lift with the stock pistons anyway

[LTb1ow]

Hmm, I can't think of anything else, except for a few k in the bank for when it goes poof. ;)

[Savage_Messiah]

You forgot the 3800sII to drop in :-D

[GP99GT]

im betting the trans or rear axles will let go before the motor does...but who knows

[LTb1ow]

So whats this gonna put you at? 350 whp?


:)

[GP99GT]

350-400 somewhere in there...with the stock pulleys

edit: i have just been informed that it is my friends 21st bday today...i may not make it back to this thread tonight

[Knipps]

Godspeed! :lol:

c clip eliminators. you're gonna have the rear apart anyway.

[NJSPEEDER]

good call, i have a new set of ARP head bolts

edit: they can be reused if theyre cleaned well so you get the correct torque reading

For how little they cost I wouldn't ever want to reuse any of the critical bolts on a motor. Once the bolts are installed and torqued down they stretch, they pull a little bit more when you take them out too. So if you go through another tightening sequence, they are pretty much used up.

[LTb1ow]

Especially on a blower car, would hate to lift the heads...

maybe even a big erector set wing for ultimate downforce!

[madness410]

epic mustang build indeed. where are you getting this all put together matt?

[GP99GT]

hopefully sending it off this month sometime to...a secret location.

good call on the C-clip eliminators ian, i forgot all about them. looks like i have some shopping to do tonight

[bubba428]

what about gaskets, bearings, and seals, and colar for your rear gear swap

[JSPERFORMANCE]

What about some 1.7 rockers?

[Pampered-Z]

How much boost will it make. I haven't worked on a ford engine in a long time. last Mustang I worked on was my buddies Saleen, about 10 years ago so I forget all the details.

But on my LT1 I needed to add check valves into the vac lines becuase when the boost comes on it forces things like the HVAC doors to closes. Also if any vac hoses are not on tight they can blow off, so you might want to get now hoses.

What about the PCV system? Do you need to do anything so you don't create crank case pressure or add a oil catch can?

One question. Isn't there some type of sensor in/under the manifold that is a PITA to get to? if so is that something to replace while off?

And don't forget the normal gasket sealers and locktite!

[GP99GT]

Already got the 1.7 Crane rockers...bearings and whatnot for the rear, good idea..boost is 6psi with the stock pulley/intake tubing, if i put an anderson/UPR powerpipe on it, 7-8lbs wtih the stock pulley.

PCV system...thats something that i believe needs to be completely modified, probably some sort of catch can installed...ill have to do some searches on that

Theres no sensor in/under the intake manifold on a 302...i remember that from when i took my 87's top end apart

stickers and naawwwwzzzzz
