First 302 rebuild....any tips?

And the GTPs are easy to come buy since they were on 97 to 2000+ explorer and mountainers. Quote Selected

First 302 rebuild....any tips? Reply #18 – January 28, 2009, 08:47:10 AM I called around to the junkyards at one point and was SOL. I'll try again. Is it only the early 97s that had the GT40s? I would drop a biscuit if I could get them for 100/ea let alone the intake for 150. Quote Selected

Heck I even run the standard 135* spark plug boots with no clearance problems. The only problem I have is getting the spark plugs out. You have to use a box end wrench on the spark plug socket as the ratchet won't fit around the header tubes. Quote Selected
