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 375hp @
5500rpm and 395ft lbs of torque @ 4500rpm. This engine has a 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 should
be used with a 2500 stall speed convertor if being used with an automatic
transmission, and a 650cfm to 670cfm carburetor is recommended. This engine
runs on leaded or unleaded premium pump fuel.
