Are the 1992 Windsor 302's any good? I mean was it worth buying the XR8 instead of the VP SS hehe.
In the future when I get more money, I want to spend more doing the car up, but I want to be sure I have a good base to start from, so wanted a bit of info on if the Windsor 302 is any good :)
mate im in the same position as you only mine is a 91 NC Fairlane Ghia V8 im just conscentrating on getting it looking schmick , getting it roadworthy (should be almost roadworthy by monday)
ive got an EL XR8 exhaust lined up - im going to make the motor the same spec as AU II XR8 that'll do for me for nows
the auto was recoed 12 months ago

Ok as you know the 302 inlet is very restrictive and the only way to fix this is with a die grinder and a selection of burs and about 16 hours of grinding of the manifold runners , plenum runners , plenum inlet and T/B ,This manifold mod works very well from 3000 rpm up
This would flow better if you could pick up a 65mm or 70mm T/B . I connected a vacume gauge to the plenum and run it up on the dyno and found on full throttle at about 5000 rpm it was pulling about 2 in vacume which means the motor is trying to pull more air than the T/B allows , also I forgot to mention we also fitted a bigger AFM .
