Beefed up 302 putting out how much HP?
I've got a buddy (really, I do) who has just "re engined" his 68' Mustang fastback with a bored and stroked 302. I am still waiting for him to send me a copy of the build sheet so I do not have any specifics yet. Now he is not an engine guy and asked me my opinion of the performance claimed.
The builder claims the car is putting out over 450 hp at the WHEELS with an early production 302 block bored out (don't know how much), polished and ported Edlbk. heads and a demon carb, an Edlbk intake manifold., headers, with an under car exauhst. I don't have any info on the cam yet.
This sounded like a lot of hp to me for this set up. The builder claims pump premium is fine while also claiming the car is an easily managed street machine.
When I get some more specifics I will post them but I really am skeptical of the horsepower claims.....opinions??
