302 capabilities
I about a year or so ago rebuilt the engine in 6S2166, primarily a road race GT350....nicely appointed interior etc. It had a way too high strung 302 stroker that required 110 octane gas at all times.
I bought new Canfield heads, lowered the compression, and gave the engine to Orlando Mustang .....and pro engine shop in Orlando ( CRE machine) to make more streetable. I did request engine dyno sheets prior to taking delivery of the engine...and I had the pleasure of filming the action. It is a true R FMS block with mostly off the shelf bits.
Final result....552.1 Hp at 7100 RPM and max torque was 447.7 at 5300. It is a little lumpy...rough..off idle, but it is one heck of a ride. Great 302, light weight, but a bit peaky....but it sounds like a CART car revving up. It has yet to meet a fart can car that it likes!!!
I crave finding medallion wearing corvette drivers.......ok, I just won't go there. It is a great car to drive for fun. Next event, Florida SAAC event at Daytona in a week or so.
All the best
