Hell, if you want a 302, give Adam $50 for that fresh roller motor in his garage. We can bring it home this weekend. Put a good set of aluminum heads on it and whatever intake you feel like and you've got a really good start.
From what I have read, the easy way to figure out the braking is either go with a hydraboost (you have to run powersteering) or go with manual brakes (manual rack can be used). I'm sure there are some custom avenues to be used, but these are the most economical/feasible methods.
Can you PM me the specs on that roller? I can't remember what was done to it.
