wow, my 300-6 was having issues a while back, it urned out o be the injectors being clogged with rust, so i changed the fuel filter and cleaned out he injectors....well over the last month or so it started stutering again, so today i recleaned the injectors, there was alot less stuff in them, but just enough to foul 3 of the injectors..... now its running like a top, i did some browsing for a newer engine, and i found:

1982' Ford SWB would make a great drag truck or parts rig. $450 for entire truck 302 v8, 2 barrel carb, c6 tranny, 9" rear, dual tanks etc....

i contacted this person and they said if i want he whoel thing theyll take 400 bucks! im thinking, WHAT A DEAL!! right??? i mean, this way i can lose the 300-6 with its c6 trans, swap them out, swap out my 8.8" rear with the 9" and wallaH!!!! i should have a nice truck right???? the 302 is stock bored....so that means if i want o make it a 347stroker, HA HA HA i gots a good block to do it with....


let me know what you guys think ok, PEACE!

 

Congrats on the deal, looks like you got some work ahead of you.

 

im looking forward to the work lol . . . . firsthing im gonna do i check the motor oil for any shavings then ill try to get it running in its original vehicle, then ill make the transfer.... im curious, am i going to have to relocate all the wiring also????? on an 82 model i think there is few wires but i cant remember . . .

 

Sorry no experiance in that dept, but check out the engine forum's they got alot of infomation there. Can probably get some answer's in there, good luck.

 

well first hings first, its gona need a new starter, im gonna get it running in the original truck first, thus far the oil looks great!!!! the tranny oil is still good.... the 2 barrel carb is fairly new! ive been thinking of what im gona do, itll get long-tube headers and a catconv on both sides of the dual exhaust with a cross over pipe to level out the torque... itll be likely i drop the 2 barrel and intake for a 4 barrel setup....aftermarket distributor equipment looks nice. . . .liek to get it in blue if possible, oh and im gonna get taller valve covers, the factory ones look awful.... and its not liek they needed the room, i could put a dual highrise intake on this thing and still use a large air breather lol... comp cams shure is looking good too lol, i have alo9t of resaerch to do lol... PEACE ill get pics posted soon.
