[QUOTE="noahsark2012, post: 9270370, member: 81732"] i'd find out what block is in it. if it's the stock 302, I wouldn't even mess with it. If it has a 302 Sportsman block in it, it might be worth a look. reason I say this is, the stock 302's are prone to splitting down the lifter valley when they exceed 400 hp. This is not the case with every stock 302, because some miraculously handle more than others, but I would seriously factor that into my decision to buy a Fox. with a sportsman block (usually FRPP or Boss designation) they will handle up 1500 hp depending on the block. if that's the stock engine in that thing and it's supercharged and makes more than 400 hp...regardless of the mileage, that engine is living on borrowed time. It's already 17 years old, I'm sure the intake, head, timing chain cover gaskets aren't worth a shit anymore. [/QUOTE]
