If you are looking to upgrade that old, tired Ford 289 or Ford 302 and bolt in
extra horsepower this Ford 302 crate engine by Tuff Dawg Engines would be an EXCELLENT choice with 328hp @
5000rpm and 337ft lbs of torque @ 4000rpm. This engine has a semi-rough idle
with enough cam to give it that muscle car sound but is still mild enough to
be reliable for that everyday driver or restoration project. This engine
works best with a mild 2200 stall speed converter if being used with an
automatic transmission. This engine runs on leaded or unleaded premium pump
fuel.
