I want to build one on the side myself this year getting small parts along the way. My question is...If I want to be around 300-350hp on a 95 GT, what setup would you guys recommend for a 302? Should I buy a new block and start from there or is it just as good to get a used block and have it cleaned up? What heads/intake are inexpensive but worth buying? I don't want a monster, just something with a bit more bite than my stock GT. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jmcclesk</b> <br /><small>Member # 1355</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(2004,0,15,16,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have 0 mile shortblock with all the good stuff email me if you like jonmccleskey@msn.com <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>DropTopFox</b> <br /><small>Member # 1689</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(2004,0,15,17,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> a used block will be just as good in this case since you don't want gobs of power. Basically the simplest way tohit your goal would probably be the X cam with some 1.7's, 10:1 or higher compression with some AFR 165's or 185's or Twisted Wedges and your favorite aftermarket intake manifold.
