Progress of a neverending project!

[Iraq&Roll]

What is wrong with the engine in it now? If it handled the Novi, hit it with the turbo.

[500HPLX]

It is still a great engine. But it is the orginal 131K shortblock. It needs at least a rear main seal and likely oil pan gaskets, hell it still has the orginal oil pump.

It has P heads and I doubt the turbo headers will fit them. Besides I have a set of 185's I want to run with the turbo and the stock pistons wont clear the bigger valves.

Ben!!! Hurry Up!

[500HPLX]

I'm a big wuss!

I am waiting on it to get cooler!

Actually work has been in overdrive and I am trying ot get all the parts together.

I am going to start putting the 306 together soon.

306 is SOLD!

On with the Boss build!

[500HPLX]

Got the rods, pistons, gaskets, studs and such. Shit adds up quick!

Damn Mustang CRACK!

I am mocking up the hotside on the engine stand and will get some picks up this weekend.

Next it's off to the the machine shop with the block and rotating assembly!

Shit adds up quick!

This is what most dont realize, its expensive to buy the good stuff. Marshall will be down to pick up the ole 306 around Christmas

[500HPLX]

I know, I bet I droped $700 on gaskets and stud kits for the heads and mains, oil pump pick up. All Ford Racing Boss items.

[GNs-r-slow]

Just dropped 900 on brakes....now I need all the braided hoses and new plumping front to back

[500HPLX]

See, it never ends!

Aint it great!

[500HPLX]

I am back!

Been lurking and working my ass off.

Have made progress in getting the new motor done. But mostly just working to keep it running and some minor upgrades.

Internals are coming home from the machine shop this week.

Then in goes the block for final machine work.

Should be putting it together in mid-January at the latest.

Still buying parts to finish up the details. Went overboard and decided to have "everything" on the new engine actually be new.

Boy did that open up a can of worms and my wallet.

Here is the rundowm on it so far.

New std bore Boss 302 block
Eagle 4340 3" stroke crank
Eagle H beams with ARP 2000 bolt up grade
SRP -5 cc 4" bore pistons
King bearings
Billet flywheel
SFI balancer
Netural balanced assembly
Mains and heads studded
MLS gaskets

AFR 185 heads decked to 55 cc chambers P/N 1388

10:1 compression

I do have a new F cam, lifters and spyder assembly.

But the decision is still out on the cam, lifters and rockers.

I had been planning to run this with the 76mm turbo and kit I have. If so, I decided to go with a B & G hot side. But now seeing where the compression has worked out to, I may just go all out with a N/A build with a little N2O. If so, I want a put in a kick ass cam and valve train.

Any way, away we go again!
