I started with a 302 in my Cobra and after a few years I wanted more horsepower.
I stroked it.
After changing heads and intake I made 402 rear wheel hp and 416 tq. I stopped buying parts.
Last year I built a 347 for my GT 40.
I had Twisted Wedge heads and a MSD distributor on the 306 motor that was in the car so I used them.
I bought a Eagle forged stroker kit with pistons for the TW heads (extra $100 for the pistons).
You don't need a forged kit for the street but I bought it anyway.
Pioneer balancer (zero balance)
Had the flywheel zero balanced.
You need the flywheel and balancer when you have the shop to balance the rotating assembly.
I had the rotating assembly zero balanced.
I took the original 302 block from my Cobra and had it machined. Hot tank cleaned and then we cleaned it three more times before we started the build.
My buddy Eddie helped.
I bought
TFS spring up grade
TF lifters ( I think, I would have to check my notes at the shop.)
Scorpion 1.6 rockers
Comp Cam XE282HR-12 it's for my fuel injection system.
Comp Cam push rods, after we knew what length I needed
Ford timing chain
Trick Flow gasket kit
Melling M-68
oil pump
Ford Racing Dowel kit M-6026-A302
Milodon aluminum Hi Volume water pump
and other parts.
You will need to pick a
oil pan and pick up. Make sure to check the
oil pump out or buy one that has been gone thru. Check screen to bottom of pan clearance.
I kept up with the hours Eddie help me. Total 32 hrs. He has the correct tools to build a motor correctly. Bore scope, electric ring grinder, digital torque wrench, etc. Several thousands of dollars worth of tools.
He checked every bearing for clearance.
I hope this motor will produce 480 flywheel hp.
I hope to have it running in the next couple of months.
