1953 FORD engine swap
Getting ready to swap engines(WON'T TELL WHAT'S IN IT NOW) I have access to a 302 & a 302 HO. Don't know which one to use.There won't be a lot of hot rodding,more daily driving.Any input will be appreciated.THANKS

1953 FORD engine swap
For daily driving it is my opinion that a stock rebuild is better than high performance, which can be done with either engine you're looking at. I say this because with a hipo engine you tend to have to tinker with it alot more to keep it running optimally. The only exception to this is the cam, an RV cam is a good thing, and since it's probably going to need replacement anyway...
Get the idea? I'll probably get slapped for this but like I said it is MY opinion.
