The challenge you will face with the 302 is the Ford curse - heads and carburetor compared to other brand combinations in the class. Depending upon how far under the index you set your target, and where you plan to compete(geographically), you may find a level of performance that allows you to get into the field of choice.
I'm sure there are racers here with recommendations for a small block Ford builder near you.
Now if you REALLY want to slow down, I have a V/SA Maverick for you!!

Hey Dave Thanks for your reply,
I plan on running the car for a couple years to see if stock is my game. There are lot of Ford guys but not many P stock. My target was to get 2 under the index and as long as I don't run into them fuel injected Pontiac guys I should be fine. Maybe add some weight to get to Q. If NHRA reduces the index by 2 tenths then I guess Ill have a bracket car for sale. That V/SA sounds interesting, slow but interesting. Thanks
Dale
