Decent towing cam and fair gas mileage...

Isn't that a myth of some kind?

actually it took it this weekend on a 500 mile round trip to pick up a 6000 pound machine and i was quit impressed. I may leave it the way it is for a while until I can come up with some more money to make it better. Right for budget reasons it has a 302 roller cam and heads and a 2bbl intake with 500 cfm motorcraft carb. yes i know not the best combo but i needed to put it together fast lol. i will post some pics in a bit.

never heard of a ford stroked to a 383,that is a chitty motor cid. is it possible to make a 302 a 383? only stroked 302 i have heard of is 347,then maybe a 351 turned into a 392,and higher with the 351w.

this is a 351w stroked to a 383. 302s can be more than 347s, the common are 331s and 347s.
