Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
Are you building for street or strip ? Higher quality rods would be a good idea. I have spun my Original 69 Z28/RS to 7200rpm on many occasions, but that is playing with fire. On one of my 302 engines in my Super Stock car I have spun it too well over 9000.

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
Today I finished my line hone, set housing bore to 2.4914. Next I will clean the block and set up for decking, assembly height:
Stroke 3.00 Rod length 5.698 Comp height. 1.800 Total height. 8.998 I need to decide which head gasket thickness I will use, then I will cut the block. Last edited by MIKE JONES 302; 09-03-2018 at 08:21 PM. |

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
Mike Jones you are doing a fine job, keep the Build updates coming. It's great to see a young fellow developing an ability. Your combination of parts should workout just fine, keep it light and low drag. The preparation of all the components are important, but you appear to have that handled. Keep up the "GOOD WORK"… Maurice.
