hi...hey just picked up a 302c (JG31NM 81191K D2AE-CA ILI2)for a jetboat project, also picked up another block -heads that has no #stamps up front only the D2AE-CA cast at the rear.
I picked the first block as
Australia
Broadmeadows
FALCON 500 WAGON
March
1973
xc?
12.7 mm distributor shaft?
pre emissions?
the second bare block I am guessing is from the US.
All seems in ok nick I might even get a season out of it before a rebuild, problem I am looking at is that it has 2v heads as per the norm but it has a inlet thats a dual plain (spread bore)
Am I right in thinking the spread bore was for the 351 with 4v heads and the 302's are all twin bore carbs not the 4 barrel?
If this is the case my reading says its a poor match to put a spread bore inlet on 2v heads and I am better off with just the twin barrel carb set up?
little confused cause I have also read the holly 465 is a good carb for a 302 but that a 4barrel square bore set up???
this is stock heavy cast iron stuff heres the inlet #'s 2L7 76DA-9425-C8
will be lots of questions over the next couple of months cause this is the bestest place on the net for that kinda thing and its better to learn before I do anything
