The '87 roller 302 originally from my other wagon. It made a great replacement for this car's wheezing original 351, especially after adding a four-barrel up top and a rebuilt C4 behind it. Just finished swapping on the stock rebuilt E7 heads and '96 Explorer camshaft. '84 Mustang intake isn't an ideal performance piece but was a logical alternative to the Performer 289 that I swapped to my other car. If I ever decide to go high-RPM with this engine, I have an Offy divided single-plane I can throw on. The new car weighs only 3460 pounds, so who knows what I'll end up doing with it performance-wise.
