motor ID...
Just picked up a '56 F100 running a 1972 302 & C$. Runs good for now...but during the "rebirth" of our new Effie...we also have a 1980-something 302 sitting on a stand in the garage that was running when yanked out of a mid-to-late 80's Mustang.
Please help me ID the carburated 302 that has been sitting in the garage for a few years...where are the block #'s...it's a long story...
-THANX...

There is a Holley 4-BBL bolted to the intake also...
Double roller timing chain and 2-bolt mains...As far as I know...this motor is STOCK...PLEASE HELP!!!...what is it?????

Yes it sounds like a 1983 HO Mustang/Capri motor. This uses the 351W marine (flat tappet) cam which means it has the 351W firing order as well.

It's an 83 Stang motor, but at this point in time, nothing to write home about. The blocks aren't particularly desireable and the early 50 oz cranks are known to break in half. Not a roller motor either. The intake brings about $50 on ebay. Heads aren't desireable either. Hope you didn't pay too much for it. It's really only good as a core for rebuilding, reusing the block, & rods. Plus any front end accessories that came with it.
