I have been thinking recently about the things I have been wanting to do with my fastback. I am considering putting off painting the car and installing a brand new 302 motor from Ford motorsports. I was also wondering if I would need to make any changes to the transmission or the rear. I have an 8" posi rear, and a brand new T-5. Will the motor I am looking at be too much. It has the following specs.
Aluminum Head Long Block Engine Assembly
5.0L/302 GT-40 - 320 HP Street/Strip
B303 Camshaft -
302 cu. In.
320 Bhp 9.0:1 compression ratio (nominal)
I am not planning on driving the car extra hard, but if I need the power I want it to be there. Also the car has not been primered yet. I bought it from the PO and he only got as far as having the body panels replaced. Should I at least have the car smoothed out and primered or should it be ok sitting inside in its current condition. Thanks a lot.
