My car has been down since early December when my harmonic balancer broke and destroyed the bearings. After 1 month of the car sitting, and 2.5 months of labor, the car finally starts! I just have to button up a few odds and ends, and its ready for a test drive!

I got rid of my old 308 block, due to lack of money. So I had a stock bottom end 302 built up. We installed a TFS Stage 1 cam and threw out the E-303. Everything else is pretty much the same, except for a very expensive Ford Racing balancer, a high volume oil pump drive shaft, and a MSD distributor.

The water pump had to be shaved to clearance the Ford Racing harmonic balancer. Ford claims a "slight modification is needed to the water pump BOLT." BAH!
