Awesome motor! I'm doing my research because I'm about to start on my 302 and I honestly don't know much at all about the 347. Can you give me some specifics on the carbs and headers? Did you bore the motor?
The engine is not yet broken ;) Actually it’s running perfectly. The problem with the oil is only a problem when you’re using the wrong (cheap) pistons. The one I use don’t have this problem. I’ve got around 7000 miles on the engine. 30% is on the track. So the engine is really being used to the max. No oil use at all!
The main trick is not to use budget parts when building a powerfull engine!
How long did the engine last? I hear a lot about side load on the pistons and an oiling issue. They say the longevity of the engine is maybe half the normal 302. What did you think about it? How many miles you got on it and how hard have you driven it?
@1965mustangfb You have to realize that I live in Belgium (Europe) so buying the parts is a lot more expensive. The parts alone (including the special prepared c4 gearbox, exhaust) cost over 12.000 dollar! End than it still has to be put together….
@jrpumper I didn't install the roller rockers because it wouldn't fit under the valve covers. I changed it and now the engine has the comp cams ultra gold rocker.

Last time I tuned it on a dyno and it created 386 hp on 6800 rpm on the rear weels.
The advantage in a 66 mustang is that it will fit without any trouble (and you will still be able to change the sparkplugs). If you put a 351W in a 66 mustang it won't fit without adjustments.
Black round thing with numbers on it is a harmonic balancer, shiny chrome thing on bottom is a Front sump oil pan, the bright shiny thing up front that has the edelbrock sticker is a manual fuel pump, the aluminum colored thing that the fuel pump mounts to is the timing cover, the zinc coated round thing with a nipple up top is the oil sending unit and it is mounted to an extension tube, the round white thing appears to be a Motorcraft FL-1A oil filter. Hope that helps.
THAT IS SICK!..... great job on that! I'm planning to dismantle my 302 to port and polish it... how much is the power increase with this? i can suppose it's ALOT... ....so heres the billion dollar question (s)
- Will this work in a 1978' mustang (5L. V8 302cu)?
-on a 1-10 scale....how hard is this? i mean i am new at this...(10 being the hardest)
Porting and polishing basically means that you are grinding metal out of the head ports to make the flow more efficiently. However, simply making the ports larger may actually reduce performance (eg lower gas velocity). Porting a head is not something you can do at home - for a proper porting job you need a flow bench and years of experience. If it is a stock 302, start with a new set of headers and a good dual plane manifold and go from there - porting should be last on your list.
Pretty risky to build that much horsepower on a stock 302 block

Why would you build a motor like that and not put roller rockers on it ?
jrpumper 1 year ago 2
@jrpumper I didn't install the roller rockers because it wouldn't fit under the valve covers. I changed it and now the engine has the comp cams ultra gold rocker.

@peerware Had the same valve covers with crane gold rockers and they hit even with the baffle out.

@jrpumper i have that problem now. i used roller rockers on my build and now they tap the inside of the valve covers.
MustangDriver8506 1 year ago
Nice build up mate! Did you get it dyno'ed yet? What do you estimate it pushes out? Mind if I ask how much it cost ya for the build up?
Also just curious as to why you didnt chuck in a set of roller rockers?

I still have to go, I planned to go but had some troubles. So maybe in the next season.
peerware 2 years ago
Very nice - what spec cam did you go with? How are the dual quads? They look great, but I bet they are a bugger to tune!
billygno2 2 years ago
I used the "Edelbrock Performer RPM Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam"
-RPM Range: 1,500-6,500
-Duration Adv: 296/296 Int/Exh
-Duration @ .050": 236/236 Int/Exh
-Lift: .572"/.572" Int/Exh
-Lobe Separation: 108 degrees
The carbs will be tuned in about 3 weeks then i also will know the exact bhp on the weels.
