Looks good if you're doing a stock rebuild. My guess is the kit would probably include dished pistons with valve reliefs. Looks like an upgrade to an RV-style grind cam is available for $85. Depends on what kind of motor you're trying to build I guess.

I believe I would Google the manufacturer and see what comes up. There may be some comments about it in other forums. Looks to be all there though. Just my .02

Wow.... I too would look a little further in to the manufacture and the company selling it - see if you can find a web site for each.

Looks like brand name stuff, suitable for a stock daily driver rebuild, like Goobzilla says. I suspect they make most of their money on the optional upgrades.

Hey that is a fairly good deal as long as you do not need to upgrade like everyone said. We also sell some engine kits for this engine, I didn't know what year 302 you had so I picked a random one.

Hope it helps or at least gives you a comparison.

Sounds about right. One of the guys in our truck club is a machinist (owns his own shop), he just charged me $995 to build my 302 using the same Enginetech brand rebuild parts.

Hi Charlie - I'm rebuilding a 4.2, and thinking about using Enginetech parts, but don't know much about the company. How is your engine holding up? Have you heard anything about this company, positive or negative?
