94 302 Build

I have a 93 F150 standard cab 2 door and i am building a new 302 for the truck. Currently the vehicle has a 2wd E4OD trans and a inline 6. I am building a carburated 302 out of a 94 HO block while remaining the bottom stock with new pistons and rebuilding a 4x4 Manual M5OD trans. The goal of my build is to have around 400+ HP, 50% street 50% strip. Also the vehicle will have a 4 in lift with 35in tires and 3.73 or 4.10 gears.

Now my questions are suggested parts for my application, max cam lift before piston to valve contact, and is 400 HP achivable with this setup.

I am looking at the Flo-Tek 203505 Aluminum cyilender heads, voodoo cam, Edelbrock 2121 intake manifold, Headers, a 600 cfm 4 barrel holley carb, and a 110 gph edelbrock fuel pump, and hardened pushrods. What will remain stock is the crank, piston rods, andnew oem oil pump.

Thank You

400 hp will be a lot to get from this motor when it is N/A. Also, don't count on any 'off the line' racing with the 35" tires and gears...that will just suck all the bottom end off.

400 hp is really easy being N/A just need the right combo

I agree tho it will be kind of a turd I already suggested in his other post a 351 but he's got the 302 rolling already

but I still think a 408 would be a good setup for him

Only way I'd go if it's "302 or nothing" is boost. 400 hp in an NA 302 means revving, lots of revving.

The mazda trans won't like it much, and zf5 gearing is awful for what you wanna do, so any viable option is going to get pricey.
