lOOKING FOR SPEC'S 302/215@240

goinbroke2 · 12-09-2011, 01:16 PM

like the title says, I'm looking for the build sheet for the 215hp(240hp factor) and can't find them. The only 302 I see is the 340hp.
Where do I look?

Thanks,
Jim

if you can find an old Ford Racing catalog, I believe this is the old GT 40P engine from the mid-late 90's. It should list the cam lift, head cc, etc. Other than that, I believe the block, pistons, rods, crank, and rocker ratio are the same as the other late model 302's. To my knowledge, this engine essentially just had the heads from an Explorer.

The engine I run is the 1992 regular GT 40 crate motor.

call Hank Blankenship...he should have the specs..276-531-8654

It is the same specs as the standard 87-90 302-225/215 EFI HO motor but without the EFI.

Ford Racing offered it as a crate motor in the early part of the decade when they were blowing assembly line push rod engines out.

M-6007-F50 was the part number.

No GT-40 heads,
E7TE castings with .445 lift and any cast intake with acceptable 750 carbs.

Geroge Wright built the first one years ago, put it in his FC/M Probe and promptly proceeded to fly with it.

At the time probably because it was a Ford and GM was king around there IHRA promptly whacked it with 25 HP.
Of course the last part is purely speculation on my part so all of you GM crate motor guys don't get in a uproar. It was a long time ago.

Thanks for the responses guys. So it's a stock roller cam 5.0 87-93 except it has 750 holley?
Cool, so sportsman rods and approved pistons, .445lift bullet cam should get me started....actually, these had forged pistons from the factory, are the factory forged piston legal or do you have to run the approved aftermarket ones?

Thanks for Hanks number Chris, I think I'll call next week.

you can run the stock pistons. If you are going start out with the stock bottom end, make sure you get at least install a good vibration sfi damper.

Alex, what is that 302 270/250 HP crate engine that some guys run? I don't remember it.

By the way, still debating about lifters. haven't done anything yet.
