Finally the engine is finished. Now it is on to the rest of the drivetrain. Trans, hyd throwout bearing, clutch, etc..

Here are a few photos of the magnificent work that Rick has done on this engine. In essence he has taken a plain crate motor and turned it into a very special engine. From the Roller Rockers to the Windage Tray, the Blueprinted Oil Pump and Pick Up to the beautiful work on all the Stainless Steel Spacers and all the Stainless Steel Arp Bolts and Studs and the MSD Ignition to the Quick Fuel Technologies Carburetor. Here are some closeups of interest. We are estimating that this Ford Racing 302, with all the goodies that we have added to it, will produce approximately 365-370 horsepower. More than enough for the type of driving I am planning to do.

Enjoy the photos and let me know what you all think so far.

Very funny, ha, ha. The only thing we did not install was the carburetor. We will install the carb once we have the engine in the car.

That's a beauty Juan. It's going to be soooooo easy to change spark plugs on that thing; I'm jealous. Keep it up Rick !!

Hi Tony:

The car was primered last week and I believe the car will be painted within the next couple of days. I will post some photos once the painter sends me some of the painted body.
