i was in wally world today and picked up the mustang and fast ford mag. there was a stang in it with stock ported heads and a stock block with over 1100. it had a big turbo on it and a special grind cam to compensate for the extra air. that is a lot of power for a stock block

 

wasn't it a 4.6 modular motor? either way, thats a lot of hp in a stock anything.

 

it said it was a 302 block

 

oh and on that mellings cam i can't find out anything on the net about it. but i have the 1 800 # to talk to mellings tool co. that is the same company.there was another one at oreily's where i got it but it cost way more than 80 dollars. 1800 777 8172

 

Your probably right, they do build up a lot of stock 302 blocks with crazy hp. Do you remember anything else about the article? Appreciate the number I will give them a call, and see what they say. Hows your car coming along, ripped the motor out yet?

 

no still driving yet the other car has no brakes right now i don't feel like bleeding them yet

 

it has to be pumping a lot of power at high rpms, is there any power curve info on it?

 

i did not read it all i just picked it up and skimmed through it but i wanted to get it for this reason here, but it was over 6 dollars.

 

well it is expensive to crank horse power like that out of a 302 but then you have to stand back and look and think how long is this going to run? i mean 500hp is great out of a 302 but 1100? it might last 2 runs down the strip b 4 ur replaceing it or rebuildeing it. probibly wont even last long enough to change the oil 1 time

 

1100 HP is nice, but I've SEEN quite a few Stock roller block 302's come apart around 600hp due to the BLOCK cracking around the main journals.

 

i agree with bogn stock 302 blocks are usually good for about
600 hp before the webbing for the main caps begins to crack.

 

yeah well that is wht the mag said. i am sure of that

 

I knew a guy personally that was getting over 650HP at the wheels with a stock 92 block, pistons, cam etc... with a stock AOD tranny. He couldn't keep head gaskets together long enough for a full 1/4 mile run. He was pushing about 22psi of turbo boost. I was impressed the pistons, rods or block did not fail. They undoubtedly soon will, but I give ford a pat on the back. He ran an 11.1 on street tires and stock 3.08 gears. 1100HP will leave you picking up pieces. It may be the truth but not smart.
