1990 302ci build thoughts
So I got my truck a while back for $750 and it was a great deal because it has minimal rust and 99% of the more expensive parts are in perfect condition. My problem it with 3.55 gears and 35" tires I don't think it is powerful enough for my likings. I done a little bit of research on this and I decided I'm going to build one bad dude. I started off by realizing the injectors had to go so did the stock heads and cam. even though it's a little 302 I'm going to make it roast the tires (shouldn't be that hard with granny gear 4-speed). I looked around and priced some parts for my build and this is what I have so far
Triple deuce intake (not sure about the carbs yet)
FRPP B303 roller cam
gt40 heads
roller lifters (if they aren't included with the cam)
roller rockers
maybe a smog delete
long tube headers If I can get some to fit ( if not I'll use shortys)
2.5" true dual exhaust with flowmaster 40 series mufflers
I'll experiment with timing to see what works for me.
and some traction bars to get rid of that annoying wheel hop. I don't know about the triple deuce intake because I've never really seen anything about them on a 302, but it sounds like it would work nice because it would be better on gas just cruising and have more power when I get on it. Tell me your guys's opinions and share some ideas I'm always open to new things.
