[QUOTE="ford5.0forlife, post: 7919026, member: 42428"] I wasn't trying to bag your setup, don't get me wrong. But what is wrong with the stock 302 block? A factory stock forged shortblock in good working order can make ~460rwhp reliably when tuned correctely. Although it prolly wouldn't make a good daily. Then add in a good forged rotating assembly, main girdle, and the most important thing.. VALLEY GIRDLE, and you could push near 600+ out of it. Most people forget to tie the lifter galley together, when the block is prone to split down it. I know someone who had a HEALTHY 347 with a factory block and was hitting that bitch with a 250 all the time on the street. The motor gave but it had some seasons on that engine for sure. anyway good luck, and practice some powershifts @ 5500, unless you still got the t5 in there :D [/QUOTE]
