My New 302 December 24, 2012, 12:55:38 PM I wanted to swap out my v6 for a 302, and found this one on craigslist. He said it came out of a 78 Lincoln, and through a little research found that that is probably the worst engine, but i could get it for a py old kawasaki 3-wheeler. Got home yesterday with the motor and started to take it apart to see what i had gotten myself into. Looked up the ford part number on the heads because it looked weird, turns out they are 4v's out of a '68 302, arguably the best stock casting. Next my dad and I wanted to find out why it wasn't ran very much, so we dug deeper. We were surprised to find a 306, performance pistons, and a very high performance cam. Along with all this we got a fox pan, serpentine belt system, and some other valuable goodies. I definitely think we came out ahead on this deal. Quote Selected
