I've been looking for an engine for a project that I have going (coupe). It's going to be strictly a street car. I've found a shortblock for sale locally and wanted to get some feedback on it before I look at it and make an offer. Here are the specs from the for sale ad:
Ford 302 bored 30 over to make a 306.
It is a XXX Block with Long Rods
Diamond Race Pistons
Eagle Rotating Assembly
Main Girdle
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Main Studs
High Volume Oil Pump
*Everything is new with zero miles
**I also have a Stage 1 Trick Flow Cam
So my questions are, what's this setup worth? And how would you finish it off? My budget for the engine & tranny is around $5000.
Fwiw, I have a set of GT40P heads, GT40 upper/lower intakes and a 65mm TB all from a '99 explorer sitting around collecting dust that could be used on this project if it makes sense.
