I see how you made this 320 engine . And it is a COOL build . With a 400 SB Standard bore of 4.126 . The cylinder bore must have been real thin ?:HMMM:Quote:

That is why I mentioned the truck block, thicker walls ? or just plain luck ?

I do like this build . but with a 400 block . I have built 406 SB Engines They make lot's of power . But they also run hot with that steam hole set up . I really never liked the 383 builds . So I will try another 400 30-over 406 with a good water pump and large radiator . COOL I Hope ;)
Tango
You are right the 400 would have been much easier ,but I built this back in about 1968 , before the 400's were common . I specal ordered the pistons
before boring the block, so it had to work even if I had to sleeve the block.
The weight savings on the car by going to 320 CI from 327 CI was 100 lbs
for oval racing this was a big avantage. Also a steel 39 lb crank and aluminum
rods. Yes it did run hot , but oval racers never look at guages anyway
.LOL
DAve
I think that is a real cool S/J build . And I did help a friend build a 327 by boring a 283 block to 4" and running a 327 S/J crank . That engine ran well and did not run hot .
:LOL: :LOL: Somebody told me the sprinter had gauges!!! I never saw them!!!! But man, did my attitude change when I went from driver to owner!!!!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

mines a 64 :LOL:
That's good because all the 1962 and later 283 blocks have reliefs cast into the lower end of the block where the barrels meet the block webbing . This allowed the use of the longer 3.25 stroke crank . So you can make your 302 a 327 COOL ;)Quote:

So, does anybody besides Scooter even try to run of these slugs anymore?????:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Who is C&A? i've never heard of them :confused: the machinists and i thought nobody was making spacers for anything else but the chev 400 with a 350 crank.Quote:

302's are good engines, one of the best Ford ever made!!! Lots of them 5.0 cars running some strong numbers....
Now if chebbie had kept theirs, and designed a car around the engine.......
only two things on small inch engines
1. gotta keep the rev$ up
2. gotta keep the weight down
It's all about horsepower to weight. When you run a ton and a half or more sled, takes a big inch high torque monster... If you can get the weight down to 2500 and less, the little engine works fine......
Pat,way to stir the pot!!:LOL:Quote:

Btw, you don't have to call me Mr. 250 mph unless I should in fact achieve that goal. As of now it's still just a goal I'm working towards.... Not dreaming or scheming and looking up part numbers, but an actual project in progress.....
Chevy figured why a puny (Slight or inferior in power, size or importance: weak :p ) 302 little motor to be their main sb motor!Quote:

ya know with these guys drag racing their 5.0 fox mustangs i wonder what kind of RPM's they pull in a run? a ford 302 and a chev 302 are pretty much the same as far as bore and stroke. and then theere is the ford 289 and the chev 283.
