Well, Hell . . it looks purdy. I've never been able to tell a thing by lookin' a pics of mechanicals. The proof, as they say's, in the puddin'.
So, whu'cha buildin', whu'cha buildin' huh?
Do I detect another closet Mustanger? It's okay Hell. You're among friends.
Be well . . n' I'm as serious'z a heart attack: whu'cha buildin'?

Looks good.

s2000isu · 02-01-2007, 09:13 AM

hopefully not a dodge

gomarlins3 · 02-01-2007, 09:29 AM

Does Dodge use the 302? I always associate 302 with Ford.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 02-01-2007, 10:23 AM

It's a 1978 Ford 302 that I'm rebuilding for a V8 conversion project I'm working on.

this is what I'm doing British V8: Engine Swaps, Conversions & High Performance Modifications

spa01s2k · 02-01-2007, 11:15 AM

Sounds like its going to be a fun ride once you are finished. What are your other plans for the 5.0? and what kind of power are you expecting?

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 02-01-2007, 11:32 AM

may go with a stroker set up or stick with a stock 302 with minor performance mods even with a bone stock 302 the power to weight ratio will be insane in that small of a car

Plus I still have to find the shell for my project I can't make up my mind on which body to go with I would love to find a run down sunbeam tiger (good luck)

s2000isu · 02-01-2007, 01:00 PM

the dodge I was talking about is another project lol............................ 302 is also a chevy motor an amazing chevy motor.

I always did like the Sumbeam Tigers. I would love to have one of those to mess around with some day too.

My 1980 Vette in my signature. All original with 37000 miles. Needs a little TLC to get back on the road again. I love that car.

Perfect for the 5.0!!!

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 02-01-2007, 09:15 PM

I know!! whats really cool is I can fit that 302 behind the front axel

Supra Sam · 02-14-2007, 01:45 PM

Several years ago my wife's cousin had a Triumph GT6 with a 327 chevy in it. He took me for a ride once. I think it had a 280ZX IRS that sounded ok when we left, but was clanking when we returned. It was quit a ride. Have fun with your little project.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 02-14-2007, 05:16 PM

thanks sam I will

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-13-2007, 06:37 PM

Java Junky · 03-13-2007, 08:05 PM

Hell, it sounds like your project is on the light side. Might not you be better served with a Tarantula rather than a Torker? The Torkers came after the Tarantulas n' were made to get more low-end grunt. A small-block's already got plenty'a grunt for the weight of the vehicle that you're installin' it into. The Tarantulas allowed more power up top. Not as nanosecond quick as VTEC, but it's more for top-end power.
Now, I ain't even sure that they're still makin' either of those manifolds anymore, but if you're lookin' anyway, keep your eyes open for a Tarantula. It might suit your light project car even better.
Be well.
