My question is how are these blocks compared to the 302s on the fox bodys from 79 to 93? are they stronger weaker? im going to replace rings,bearings,bolts and put the ford X cam.

The base circle on most roller cams is larger the flat tappet cams. This will move the lifter higher in the bore witch will cause oil starvation to the lifters. A retro lifter would be a safe way to go. The oil groove is in a different place or is wider on a retro lifter than on a stock roller lifter.<br /><br />If its a c5 block it is a 289 or 260. 302s didn't arrive till 67<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2015-10-22, 08:51 PM: Message edited by: 4IDFOX ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>wilit</b> <br /><small>Member # 3367</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,9,22,22,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If it's a '65 block, also make sure what bellhousing bolt pattern it has. In mid-'65 they changed from a 5-bolt to the modern 6-bolt pattern. Also, pretty sure you would need to run retro-fit lifters. I believe the lifter bore depths are different which would prevent you from running 5.0 roller lifters and the spider tray.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2015-10-22, 10:27 PM: Message edited by: wilit ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>mike50quiroz</b> <br /><small>Member # 13908</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,10,2,9,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the block is exactly as my block that came off my 91 Gt and that is a stock 91 block <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
