The 302 just continues to amaze me of it's capability, the motor really responds well to "bolt on" after market parts.

A recent article I read used a stock 302. AFR heads, after market intake\carb, a fairly mild cam like the Ford OEM E-303 and a set of headers of course. It made 400 horse power and my jaw drop! NOT a lot of money, NOT "exotic" parts, NOT a lot of engine building knowledge required. Simply amazing!

One thing to note about the various Car Magazine engine build tests. If you want the same horse power they got you MUST use exactly the same parts. It's how the "whole of the parts" work together that makes the difference.
