300kw at the wheels, or at the engine???? 300kw at the engine = 347 stroker with all the good gear bigish cam trickflow minifold, might be able to get away with the gt40 heads but some aftermarket alloy ones would be better and a piggy back computer. if you want 300kw at the wheels then forget 6-7k for sure. for startes you probably need a better block as the windsor might be getting a little stressed with that power probably a sportsman block would do. i am looking at getting a dart block big $$$$ but thats the price of big power.
yea looking for 300kw at the crank n/a, ive seen a 350hp (260kw) kit that included cam, heads, manifolds, and timingchains and other bits from the states and that was 3k auz i know the manifold is reversed but its from holley so it shouldnt be to hard to get a reversed version. it also reccomends the use of nigger t/b and maf bigger injecters and headers. so how hard would it be to get another 40kw on top of that.

XRQTOR, you cant reverse the Holley intake, its the only one that cant be spun around due to different intake runner design on no 1 and no 8. Check the pics closely, of course it will still work alright the 'stateside' way round.
Sorry to hijack this thread. I own an EL V8 Auto and I am looking at getting similar power. It is fully stock at the moment but I was just wondering what are some good things to do for a mild engine. I am looking at a lukey 3 inch system, edelbrock manifold and heads (what are some good ones for street use?), yella terra roller rockers, crow cam, k&n filter and XR8 snorkel. How much power approx will this produce and what else will I need to upgrade with these modifications? Cheers guys.
I dont think 300kw from a 302 is going to be terribly enjoyable. You would be best to stroke it to give yourself a head start.
Unless you want to throw a blower on it. Im not a real big fan of centrifugal blowers. 300kw peak power is virtually worthless on the street, and below that off boost it would be very soggy. I'd prefer the 260kw N/A option you mentioned any day over the blower option with bigger virtually meaningless numbers.
