Questions about 302 HD
I am looking at a early 60's original low mile F-700 with a 302 HD. I have owned and driven the 292 and it was a good engine. I wanted to know if the 302 HD is as good or better.
What are the specs on the 302 HD, and is it a good engine with a lot of torque. I am wanting to put a dump bed on it and use it occasionally, not every day. Are parts a problem, more so than a regular Y block, and is there any weakness I should look for.
I may make the deal soon if I can get some good information.
Thanks
I searched all 39 pages of this forum and could find very little about this engine.

The 302 and its big brother 332 are both derivatives of the 317 Lincoln and specifically designed for Big Truck use. Built 1956-63
Strong forged crank lower ends, small valve heads and cam designed for low end torque.
Parts are available and about as pricey as any obsolete engine be it a Ford or Packard!
