A 68 302 out of my 63 Mercury Meteor. We are using the heads off of it for our other 302 out of a 79 smog LTD. We are also doing away with the duraspark dizzy and using the point style. All of this is going into my fathers 72 Sport custom. I also have a 65 289 hipo 4 barrel intake we are have cleaned to go on there with a holley 4749-3 4-barrel.

The heads are going to the shop tomorrow to be cleaned and get valve seal installed. We are waiting on the funds to get a water pump, timing chain, oil pump/pick-up, and valve covers. We already order the painting kit to paint the motor Dark Ford Blue. Then a few odd and ends and we button up the motor then on to the truck.
