It has been a while since we worked on the 68 and this week we scored a nice running mildly built 302 to replace the granny 200. Thanks to Matt Firestone at TheRoads2Ruin and the rest of the guys at New England Speed & Custom for hooking us up the this motor. Engine detailing is one of our specialties. Check out our Engine Detailing page for more info.
Here it is sitting on a pallet Tuesday morning looking all sad and nasty
We stripped it down and began the process of blasting and cleaning every part
A fresh set of gaskets, some stainless bolts, lots of paint and a few new parts really made this a pretty little small block Ford. Here is sits just a few days later on Friday night.
