Decided its time to stop doing redneck builds on my car! I have the money, will have the time come winter, and want my car right. I have owned it for 8 almost 9 years. Blown up 2 motors. on my second tranny. and on my second rearend. And now i have a rear main leak. so this winter the motor is getting pulled. and im sparing no expense! This may be a long post but i appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it!

Have 2 blocks, both in good shape, one is a 302, one is a bored 306.-would like to go with 306 unless there is a reason not to.
have a set of unknown aluminum heads. no markings on them. Im in CNY and was going to drop them off at syracuse crank and see what they said about them before spending 1500 on a set of twisted wedge heads.
Going with 1.7 roller rockers.
F cam
Unknown upper/lower intake-need some advice
30lb injectors
75mm throttle body
HVAC/EGR/smog all deleted.
76mm MAF
BBK cold air intake that goes in the fender
Have a BBK offroad xpipe
Unsure of which headers to go with
Underdrive pulleys.
MSD 6al ignition.
MSD distributor
MSD plug wires
Unsure of which spark plugs to go with
Unsure of which coil to go with- Blaster 2?
Moroso oil pan
Meling M68HV oil pump
aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
bbk 255 fuel pump

I think thats everything. If im missing something/ or if something sounds stupid please let me know. Going to begin ordering parts in a few weeks.

Am i crazy to think i can get over 400hp with this set up?

Where is there a good shop in the CNY area to buy parts/use a dyno?

Thanks for all the help

Are you talking 400 horse at the crank or the wheels? If at wheels your going to need some help, nitrous, charger, turbo or stroke it. But that just my 2 cents.

Personally I wouldn't bother with a 302 based motor. For a basic rebuild with HCI, then ya, sure.

If you want some good power go with a 351w based stroker. Something around 400". Plenty of HP and torque + stronger block=years of smiles. Machine work costs will be around the same for a bored over 302 and a stroker motor. Boring, balancing, truing up the decks, ect.
