Score! Picked up a 78 302 out of a T-bird. All the right parts and std bore. Almost done hunting down parts.

Great RobbieRacer, now you need to get this all together for testing.Great thing with the Fox Bodies you can find parts used with a little hunting

Got some more work done. Got the K member stripped and repainted. There must have been 10 pounds of grease on it.
Also got the motor pulled apart. This motor turned over with no problem, Not tight at all. I have never seen a crank with this much damage that didn't have a broken rod. 1/4 inch groove worn in it. WOW.

Wellllllllll, get it together and come race at the Vegas National !!

This year will be getting it together and testing. But I plan on hitting it hard next season.

Bah, it's a ford, string and scouring pad dipped in 30wt and it'll go another 150,000 minimum!
