Well I'll be the first one to tell you that Ford did a great job when they built the 302.You take care of it,it will last a longggggggg time.They can also handle lots of abuse.Look at all the people adding nitrous and blowers to 60,000-90,000 mile stock shortblocks and having no problems(as long as they have everything in tune of course
