Found the compression problem in the 302 - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

I was hoping the 30psi compression in #7 was due to a badly blown headgasket, seems that was not the case unfortunately,
anyone got a .040 302 piston and rod laying about?

if one piston has broken the ring lands the rest are probally on the way out aswell

Yup, which is why the motor will most likely be scrapped, .040 already, glazed bores, bit of a lip, not worth keepning really.
