I'm gonna attepmt to build a stock 302 short block for my 90gt cause my car has over 130k on it and I have almost the whole top end brand new under my bed such as upper and lower intake, mass air and TB and well I was gonna get a engine lift andj just build it up in my shed not all racey just so i can start with a fresh engine, I can afford about $600 a month for parts, this will be my first time attpemting this so can anyone recomend some good reading or maybe a helpful website on building a short block, also is it better to go with a new block or will a used block work fine?
