  Those are solid. The Windsor 302 engine is bulletproof. They are actually swapped into mustangs because they have a set of better flowing engine heads (named gt40p) and intake/exhaust manifolds.

    Do they change the cam?
    • asimuvPR 10y ago
      People will usually change the cam to a ford racing e-303. Its street legal and gives a nice bump in power. Specially when a supercharger is used.

        Awesome. I didn't know there were cam's that are not street legal. $200! http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-e303cam-8595.html http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-e303cam-8595.html I looked into superchargers, seems like it's cheaper to buy a bigger crate engine and slap it in? And since you know:) Which 302 headers should I buy?
        • asimuvPR 10y ago
          The supercharger is a better investment because the problem with the factory windsor block is that it cracks in the (middle) lifter valley. There are aftermarket blocks that can be used and can reliably support 1200hp. The supercharger will provide most bang for the buck. Can't recommend headers without knowing more. Feel free to email me to avoid cluttering the thread (and get down voted to hell). My ford origins are showing. :)
