Anything special about 302 HO engine
<cr>
I have the chance to pick up a 1988 parts car equipped with a FI 302 HO engine and a 9" rearend with disk brakes. My question is, is there anything special about the HO engine I should be aware of? I know the basics about the 302 engine. I'm mainly looking for the negatives associated with the HO verison.

nope, the heads are a little better than usual, but not as good as gt-40 or gt-40p, they respond well to port work. As far as, 302 engines go, its as good as any, might go as far as to say, a little better. NOt to mention its a roller motor, so thats a plus. Good luck

$500 for a running 302 donor car that has a rearend with disk brakes. Couldn't pass it up. Looks like I have some work ahead of me.
