Not Ranked
My 302 is a stock explorer long block with stock GT-40pheads, trick flow stage one hyd roller cam, edelbrock performer rpm intake, Holley 600 vac secondary and the Hunter 4 into 1 headers. On a chassis dyno it put out 267hp and 285 ftlbs to the rear wheels. If you use a conservative driveline loss of 15% that is 315 flywheel hp and 335 ftlb's at the flywheel. There were several aluminum head motors at that dyno day and There was a 289 that put out just under 280 hp to the rear wheels. The Stroker motors were running from 300 to 313 rear wheel hp.
A 540hp 302 with no power adders would sound like a late model dirt track motor or a drag motor. It would make a terrible street motor. Now a 460 could make 540 and be pretty docile but even then you would know it is not stock.
