Merry Christmas to all! Just beginning to put the engine back together this X-mas eve...should have it finished by tm afternoon barring any complications. I need the room to begin on the Mustang 302.

I'll probably find a little Brent, but it still won't set the world on fire. I'm not touching the heads.

Merry Christmas to you guys. I've really enjoyed the build threads.

Merry Christmas Tom! Rich, im sure you'll find more... Im just hoping to go better than 11.20s , by season's end... My main 2 changes will be transmission and cam/lifters...and some weight management.... It'll be interesting to see where we both land... I may have to have my converter restalled, if cam is a tad big...time will tell...

Last minute change...found I had a small journal crank after ordering rods. Found a large journal crank local on the cheap already prepped for a Stocker so all is well.

My first attempt at a crank scraper...if I did it wrong I'm sure I will hear about it soon enough. I made plenty of clearance with a bench/die grinder then used the metal for a template on some .030 graphite filled teflon sheet.

This will be a first for me...can't wait to give it a workout.

Interesting piece of engineering. I like the physics incorporated into the design of these things. What is the distance from the axle mount to the pivot wheel as measured in a line on the floor? I'm wondering if this will fit my 68 Mustang. Speaking of, is this for the Camaro or Mustang?
