If they want to know how much horsepower it has assemble it then take it to a dyno.

Can your local Ford dealer help with any of this?

 

He is in Denmark so his Ford dealer is of no use as this is an American engine. In Europe, the government controls everything restricting any changes made to vehicles. I was stationed in Germany for 5 years so I know how it is. With a block casting code and date code, the date can be narrowed down for the horsepower of the engine at that time.

 

I just had to documet where the engine comes from, how old, how big (cui), and how many hp it factury had the time this engine was built. Here is What i found on the top of the engine 3K115777

 

A "D2" casting date would be for the model year 1972.

Through '71, Ford rated the engines in gross horsepower. '69-'71 302s were rated at 210 horsepower with 295 lb-ft of torque.

From '72 onward, Ford rated the engines in net horsepower. A '72-'80 302 was rated at 135 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque.

 

Can you guide me to where i can find this you wrote så i can print out document
