We recently purchased a used 1982 302 H.O block with heads and aluminum intake.
(we thought it was pretty darn cheap at $100) Anyways, I was wondering if there were
any advantages to a 1982 302 H.O. block versus a 1978 302 block. Trying to decide
which one to take in and get work done on.
Oh yeah, the rest of the parts... This block will have 1970 351W heads, probably a 4 bbl
aluminum intake (it came with the H.O block, might just use it instead of getting a new
holley intake or what not.) and decent cam. Lookin' for 250-275 HP. Also will have air
conditioning on it, hence the higher HP than I might go for... (so I still have decent HP
after air conditioning)... it'll be a summer daily driver.
Thanks.
