I bought my engine 6 mos before I took delivery of my car. I went to the salvage and found a late model Lincoln with a 302 in it. I pulled everything off and sent the block and crank to my machinist. I then ordered rods, rings, pistons etc. and took them to my machinist. Once he checked my block and did all the squaring, cam bearings, balancing and everything I picked everything back up. I put together the short block together. Later I received my Edelbrock heads and took them to the machinist for a little detail work and some heavier springs that would be required for my cam. I assembled the rest of the enging at that point. In fact my old 302 looked a lot like yours except I had the aluminium valve covers from Ford. Great performing engine once I put some 3.73 gears in the rear end.
On my 428 CJ I wanted a little more of a racing engine so I let my machinist do all the work at one time. Every thing I touched on the FE engine was wrong so this time I didn't touch a thing.
