just fly cut your pistons. and put better springs on your heads and it will work.

 

got a new engine, but having trouble identifying year of the block. i don't have a 12 digit number like the picture above. there is 7f18 casting number and 4 digit number starting with letter F?SE. I can't identify the second digit after letter F, it is rusted alway. The only rebuild kit i found for 302 HO is 87-90 and I don't know if my block is 90,91,92 or 93. also I need oil pump pickup tube and again there is 87-90 tube and 91+ tube, so I don't know which one to buy. Can anyone help me with this? I already got the block back from machine shop

 

Problem solved, went to buy parts from Ford Racing and the set that I bought works with 87-95.
