Does any one like to race or hot rod there 302 truck ??

 

I hot rodded mine, swapped it from 302 to 351w

 

Cool how does it run ... I got 302 HO..

 

used to hot rod my 302 but that truck went to the scrapyard,it ran very well until it started to have electrical problems

 

let me put it this way. i had a 302 carbed motor in my 82 i just got rid of. if would flat out scream! but it aint nothing on my 351W in my Flareside. but if you wanna spend the money you can make a 302 fast as all get out.

 

Ya i love the 302s..Had a couple stangs but i like trucks that why im doing this project... Got a lot of money in the motor & rear end & outher thinks ... Its running mid 14s now still working on it ...not bad for a truck.... Working on a nitrous system now... Hopeing to get to the 12s..street truck

 

Ran great till I wrecked it, I got 300 feet of posi marks to prove it.. I'll let you know how it runs when it comes back on the road in a week or two.

 

well im building a 302 Ho truck right now.. parts are getting here.. its a 1996 reman engine for an explorer but im carbing it and swap cam and run it as it is with theGT40 heads... with a 5 speed manual ( temporary )

i will be super happy if my truck runs low15's

 

Wow 300 ft... You need some traction... My truck on cold tires on the street spins them about 60ft But im runing 315-60-15 drag radials eaton tru trac posi 456 gears..cal trac bars ...At the strip when heated up & bars set it hooks good ...Let me know next time you run it ... Be cool!!

 

Cool you will like the GT 40 heads..& with a cam it should run good...Im runing 351 dooe heads off a 69 mack 1..there about the same as the GT40... With intake & carb & headers you should get to 15s no problem with those heads & a cam... Im runing a e303 roller cam with 1.72 roller rockers ..Not to many pepole on hear racing there trucks let me know how it comes out Bruce

 

I used to race around in my truck alot back when i was younger and it was my daily driver. One time we went to a "smoke show" (spin your tires, person that makes the most smoke wins a new set of tires!) and after the show there was races. I didnt lose a race that afternoon against other trucks. Mostly early nineties chevies, a couple of late 80's dodges, and one old dodge with a mean sounding 360.

I had that little 302 revving as high as she could handle it!

 

Ya i reamember the days a lot of street racing .. The 340 mopars are fast had a 69 swinger... Nice car !!

 

Your lucky! When I was younger, and where i grew up, street racing wasnt done with those old muscle cars!

The first car I really streetraced hard was a 78 pontiac grand lemans with a 350. Second car was an 81 pontiac grand prix with a a 350 from an old chevy truck (that thing could move!) The chevy products were popular because of availability of parts.

Last car i streetraced with was an 87 mustang gt, and that was pretty fun to race with, won lots, lost lots, and got lots of tickets haha.

 

I know you guys might not want to hear this, but if I want to go fast in a 1/4 mile, I'll get on the 1000 ninja ..... (my truck) is for haulin'

 

I try not to do it anymore sence i am getting up in mileage trying to presurve my power train as long as i can before getting the new Crate Motor, The last time a raced a car was last week 4.6 Mustang 5 Speed Dead stop i got in front of him buy 4 Cars untill around 50 Mph then he smoked me. It was fun

The Old (302) still has great Acceleration and the 4R7OW Still shifs smoth.
