Thumbs up Waving the SB flag!

Ok, since we're talking about the potential of one of the best engines Ford ever designed, if not thee best, I'll chime in too.

My Boss inspired 302 is a 302-R block, 331 stroker, 10.5:1, solid roller, neutral-balanced, Yates Heads, Roush intake, 750/4150 Holley which now has 2200 street miles including 3 days on a road course. Currently the main jets are #75 square and likes 30 degrees. Funny thing is, there is maybe another 100hp with a bigger cam, higher compression, and more rpm, if you were looking for max hp.

Last time it was dyno'd it made 580hp @ 7,000 and 460ft @ 4800. It will cruise all day at 2300 rpm. It has good mid range power, insane top end and starts on the first crank every time. I wouldn't say it was easy to drive around town but that’s all part of the fun. Oh yeah, it runs great on pump gas. Show the colors!

Talk soon, John
