Ok was going to hold out but the kid in me is itching to tell someone .

Well I was given a 1969 302 that was pulled from neighbors 65 Mustang . He asked if I wanted it I said yeah thinking I was getting a spare 289 .
It had sat in a salvage yard in Cali where he bought the car .
When I got it home and tore it down I seen the bottom roller assembly had been balanced out and it came with a torker 4 brl intake .
So it must have been raced the cylinders i honed to .003 over stock to clean up .





Well it came together like this with some GT40P heads little torq cam .





But thats not the good news this is , I picked this up about 3 weeks ago guy wanted it out of his way $500 he took it as part on a swap .
This engine was already torn down so inspecting it was real easy . This owner never unwrapped anything to look .

The crank was just turned .010 on the mains and rods all new bearings . New cam with it but I ordered a little hotter one more duration .
I could see it was together for a short time then taken apart so maybe the cam was bad . The complete valve train is new or rebuilt for this engine .

So I seen on the front .030 so he had it pulled and bored , located some .030 over pistons that are really dirty . This is where it sat till I got it .















Mocked it all together , original paint Ladies and Gentleman the 1961 Buick 401 CI Nailhead can we get a oooohhhh



He gave me the Dyna Flow and a 1965 Super Turbine 400 that will bolt right up .
