Engine performance

Scrapla · 11-01-2003, 01:32 PM

Ok when I started this 6months ago I had a strict budget. I wanted a new 302 or rebuilt with some minor bolt ons just to mess around with once and a while at the track and still drive it daily so my buddy wanted to build me a engine hes a mechanic for over 25yrs and has built numerous engines and he had a 347 he wanted to get rid of so I know have a 347 but with all the bolt ons for a 302 and I cant afford to sell them and buy all new parts such as a bigger TB and better heads the TB is 65mm and the heads are GT40ps( which my buddy can port for me) with 1.6 rr's so I was thinkin since im not a serious racer how do you all think it will perform?

Heres a list of parts 65mm TB, TFS street heat upper and lower intake, GT40p heads, 1.6rr's 75mm mas air, 24#injectors for my NOS 5115 kit which im only lookin to spray about 100hp.

I can always down the road bolt on some bad *** heads

I really just want to know will my gt40p heads and ford motorsport 1.6rr's be alright with that engine and the occasional dry shot of n20 (100hp max maybe less)

Hey Scrapla, yeah go ahead and put it together. You wont make as much power as you could but should run pretty good. With smaller ports and valves should really be a low rpm torquer.

Better have some sticky tires and a suspension or else they're just gonna go up in smoke!

What would be some nice things to get to start my suspension I was looking into some Sub fram connectors and maybe some upper and lower control arms, keep in mind Its a street car also.
