Nope. The new 302 Boss block, aftermarket. They use any head a regular 302 used. I had Edelbrock Vic Jr.s on mine before I began parting the motor out.

yeah, i'm not sure what we are doing at the moment, then internals for my 306 are all good still, if i was just going to get a block i would go with a boss, but i'm thinking a of a 302 363 stroker set up instead. more money but would be easier to go faster.


its been leaking for a little while apparently judging by the block damage, looks like it started with the gaskets but it showed no sign it was leaking till it hydro locked, we've been changing the oil regularly and it had no signs of water. we ran the 10.92 one of the last times we had it out before it locked.

but like i said the pistons are good, rods are good, cranks good. has a head with some damage but its fixable.

Not bad on a stock block at all. Ah well, hang it on your wall next to the blown headgaskets and burnt pistons that every racer collects.

as cast trick flow twisted wedge, they said they made power from 2000-6500 but we were still going faster with it pushing it up past 7800, surprisingly lol.
