Re: rebuild 302
How much coin you looking to drop on this rebuild? And how much of a monster are you looking to make out of that motor?

Re: rebuild 302
And are you wanting to do it yourself? There is a machine shop over just south of the Citadel mall that the guy is a Ford engine builder. I know he is the guy who did the machine work on mine 7 or 8 years ago, I forget his name but I can find it if you want to build yourself. Otherwise, get in touch with Don Alison at the bone yard, he can give you a good name or two.

Re: rebuild 302
I put a new motor in my Bronco this summer.
My original 302 had already been bored .030 over so I didn't want take it to .060. The heads on mine were the original 1970 pre-unleaded heads and I wanted to replace them with more modern heads. So I decided to switch motors, not just rebuild mine. After allot of searching I decided to buy a rebuilt (and thus warrantied) long block.
I borrowed an engine hoist and engine stand from a friend and pulled the motor, then stripped it down to the long block (block and heads only).
I used the long block as a core to get a newly rebuilt long block here in the Springs. It cost $1200 including an upgraded cam for better low end and fuel economy. The builder gave a 1 year warranty on the block.
I put the parts all back onto the engine. The long block came with a new oil pump and gaskets. I added a new fuel pump, clutch, fly wheel, pluggs, wires, water pump, and a few new bolts. That added another $400.
All together I spent under $2000 and got an engine I'm pretty happy with. I am no wrench head. I asked allot of questions on classicbroncos.com and did allot of web searching.

Re: rebuild 302
I was 10 minutes too late with the info. Logged in and saw it was taken care of.
One of the guys who works next door had a 460 built for his 78 F150 by Stan. Said he did great work and he's actually looking to take him another motor soon.
