PLEASE HELP!!!!

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

Welcome to FTE, T.

Youthful enthusiasm is admirable as well as lofty goals.

400 horse on a stock 22 year old bottom end when 450 (when they start to crack down the center) on a new one is pushing it, is not realistic. Strip duty with a M5OD isn't either, mind you, I'm just sayin'.

You might want to start with smaller goals & get a feel for the 93 & all the old age crap it is going to throw at you. And its going to dollar you to death.

Welcome again.

What would you recommend. And this setup wont see the strip, maybe red light racing but that is it. The real stress will be in mud, that is why i said 50% strip.

You're on the right track but 400 with that setup is doubtful and definitely not at the wheels as said you're pushing the limits with that block

You'd be better off getting a 351 and building that it'll handle your goals a lot better

Well the block is already purchased as well as $500 in other parts. And i was looking for 400 at the flywheel. So realistically what would the output be with my setup.

I would guess with the right cam 350 ish haven't looked up those heads for the specs don't know how good they are I do know some afr 285's would be awesome on that motor

Look up horsepower tv they've actually done a couple budget 302 builds that are pretty impressive but you're gonna want a new rotating assembly

Dss racing can hook you up call them tell them what you're doing they can get you on the right path
