Thanks Trey!

Ron, as far as I know, no one makes the piece of metal for the window channel.

Should either of you be looking at second hand motors? Actually should anyone take your advice on buying a second hand motor?

Car looks good Matt.

Hey, I can't speak for Dave, but I got a good deal on a rotating assembly, heads, and oil pan, which just happened to be bolted up to a block.

That stroked 4.6 is tempting, and a year ago I would have jumped all over it, but now I think I would rather have more of a high winding road race engine that comes directly from Ford Racing so I can be guaranteed that it hasn't been blessed by morons. I drove a 458 Italia on a track last year, and while it wasn't the fastest car I've ever driven, I was surprised that it never once felt like it was lugging down low without gobs of torque.

I'm looking at these right now. I'm not sure if there is any appreciable difference between the two. It looks like the 302R comes with a huge oil pan and a manual transmission wiring harness. Engine wise they appear to be very similar. I've heard the 302R gets wrung out to 8000 RPM. It doesn't say what power it makes. It just says "over 444hp,"

This is an awesome project and I am hoping you buy one of the Boss 302 motors.

Last night I looked at a new light green Boss 302 and almost pulled the trigger. The new motor is awesome

Nice, did you take it for a spin? What were your impressions?

I also just found this the new "Aluminator XS" but judging from the cam specs, this is not what I want for a road race engine. 263/290 on a little 302.
