Default Re: Ford 302 SS build

IMO the 70 2bbl 302 is rated a bit too high. Unfortunately to my knowledge there is only 1 year with a 4bbl 302 in which an automatic was offered, 1968. The 83-85 5.0 4bbl is stick only, and all of the 70s 2bbl 302s that are in the 130-140hp range would be impossible to even make GT/QA weight. There's a few racers running the 68 4bbl 302 in super stock. It's a good combo, but with aluminum heads it's even better.

Hmm ok thanks for the info! Would I be able to run a 390 in the GT class? Or no because the 390 wasn’t an option for the 70 mustang?

390 in SS/GT is very legal. Classification depends on selection of the 390 engine you have in mind.
