Whos running ford 302/5.0 in their machine?

1) 5.0 H.O. in my 65 Falcon.

2) Blown 302 in my 66 Bronco.

 

My '54 Ford Customline with a 302& AOD and a k.i.s.s. HEI & 289 "K" code heads

 

what is the advantage to the 289 heads?

 

53 cc combustion chambers.

 

Higher compression...and that's it.
The best flowing head was the 302 J code heads made in 1968.
The one flaw on 289/302 is the exhuast side flow. Opening up the heads and letting them breathe gives some serious power.

some mighty fine rides here fellas!

you know when I got my motor done... Originally I
wanted an 84 302 done... turned out it was trash...
the engine builder had a complete 86 mustang setup..
the heads are E6... and he told me that if I could take
a beating from the hot rod guys for having them he would trick me up a set that would
out perform any E7 stock head out... dunno.. im no head guy..
but looking at a stock E6 and the ones after he got done.. look alot diff.
not sure but I think he put differnt valves in it... and ground off alot of stuff.
anyway.. its built for flat top pistons... and apparently 86 was the year they did that... and some fancy swirl quench head design... that was shrouded by something that made it not worth it.. so they went to the E7.. and apparently thats what he fixed

Anyway... love to hear your opinions on this.. I love hearing people tell me they arent worth it.. but two racing engine builders here love them. quite a conflict of information there.

 

My heads have been reworked and should make real good power. CTJ

 

Here is my version of '32 w/302! I might have cheated on the stroke a bit. While the DUI is big and ugly, kiss makes it a good idea. Use aluminum heads if you can. Have fun

 

Good to see Fords in Fords ! Hears one of mine ( Home biult)

 

Collecting the parts for a 331 Ford in my 62 Falcon project.
I have the 3-2 Blue Thunder intake, 4 Autolite 2100's, 86 T5, or C4 ( have not decided yet ) 68 -302 motor from 68 Mustang GT, and a couple of dizzys., and 351 Exaust manifolds.
I should be working on that car by late summer 09.

how many miles are you guys getting out of these? I knew a guy who had like 300k miles on his old truck... still ran.. had an oil leak. but didnt smoke.

 

I had less than 1000 miles on mine.



Before this happened.

(hit head on by an inattentive driver)

Causing this.



And this.

 

I have a 5.0 Speed Density EFI out of a 88 Crown Vic in my 55 F100

 

btt.. been awhile, thought I would see if any new comers had anything to offer.

 

I'll play,,1954 Ford "Ranch Wagon" with a 302/5.0 and a 5-speed transmission. HRP

 

EFI 5.0 in my 28 coupe

'69 302 in my 47 sedan (with the HEI dist too)

 

302 and a broken C4 in my '51. Anyone have a C4 I can damn near have?

 

302/306 in our OT road-race Mustang (Fox Body 1987 old school) - just completing a new motor for next year's season. Will probably also build a 331 stroker short block . . . 3.250 stroke 4.030 bore, Mexican 302 block.

Will post pictures later one . . .
