Im not really going for anything crazy. It will be driven totally on the street and highways, mostly because we have no tracks around here. I am going to get rid of all the emissions things that i can, (getting a new intake, carb, and headers) which will probably be later on. You said that its not an HO, so does that mean that the timing chain i have listed wont work?? What i am a bit mistafied on is getting the right cam, timing chain, and distributor so it all works together. I am going follow the moto, work with what ya got. Also, i am confused about the rings i would need to get, if i were going to stick with the stock pistons or the ones i have listed. The engine didnt smoke or anything when i got it, it ran good, really only needed some carb work i believe. Heads will follow, probably along ways down the road though. I think that i will "port the living heck out of them" seems to be a good way to make some more power, and be able to keep the stock heads until i can afford new ones. I thought i heard somewhere that alot of people put 351 heads on their 302, because of better flow, then somehow fix the compression issue. Is this true, and is it a somewhat more affordable alternative down the road to aluminum heads?? Looking back, i should have tried to find a later model engine, but i am going to work with what i have for now. I dont think that there is anyway that I could make my $350 that i paid for the engine back, and time is calling for a project now (school). Thanks for the help with this stuff, im a pretty big newbie, if you cant tell, haha.
