my dad has an 82 but he ripped out the 302 and dropped in the 351W crate motor 400 hp. its full drag car now with a moser 9inch rear with 4.30 gears......
best is 12.30@??? id have to get the slips

1983 was the first 4bbl option since 1973. The 1982 302 came with the SROD 4 speed with the fourth being O/D. The SROD was basically an altered Ford toploader. The automatics came with a C5, I think. At least some of the auto's in 1982 were powered by an anemic 255ci 4.2L V-8. When Ford began offering the T-5 in 1983 in couple with the 4bbl Holley package on the 302, power jumped to 175hp. Then to 210hp in 1985 with the addition of a roller cam, and headers.

So to make a long story short, he had the 369cfm 2bbl, and a whopping 157hp.
