I believe I just got a 302 from a 76 Mustang from a friend for free. The block code is D4DE-6015-BA. I was told that that particular block has a shorter stroke than most 302's. Is this true or did I read this wrong. I am just wondering if this is a block worth rebuilding. From the date code its a 1974 block. The reason I think its out of a 76 Mustang is because on the original valve covers it says that it is good for 1976 emissions and my friend said it came out of a 70's mustang. Is it worth rebuilding or just a good core to save me that core charge.
