Jason,

Got it and responded.

Sure hope my 302 doesn't look like this inside...YIKES! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Take care,

I hope it doesn't too. This is the engine that was in the car when I bought it. I have never been happy with it's performance and planned to rebuilt or replace it this winter. Looks like I'll get an early start on it.

My sediments exactly.Bought this car used and one never knows what they are truly getting.Motor ran great until this so now it's time to build a killer roller-cam 302...if the motor is salvageable that is.

If not,here comes that monster crate motor (that aluminum head Bill Mitchell 427 small block is starting to look real good! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif)to rip up the pavement until I figure which side is up on this whole 302 thing.

Re: Engine pictures
 

Thanks Bud, There are a couple engines on Ebay that I'm watching. One of them is a LS-6. I'm not sure if it's the one you mentioned.

I know it's a little pricey, but I think it might be fun.
