stock cam does fine, some port and polish helps. use no larger than a 500 cfm carb, and either efi manifolds, or headers. here's mine when I was putting it together. don't have a more recent picture though. sorry

Who even makes a 500cfm or smaller 4bbl carb anymore? Shoot even for street use, I'd imagine a 500cfm would still be too big, without major jet downs...and who races 300's? Still a cool intake, I just don't see it's practicality.

Yeah, you put that on a stocker and your gonna have all kinds of fuel issues.

I know.

holley makes a 390. the set up really wakes it up. it has a larger powerband, and gets better fuel mileage than it did before. I didn't make it to race with, only to gain more power. no one says that about putting a 4bbl on a 302. 2 more cubic inches makes it a better project?

No need to leave, I was just curious, not to familiar with the old 300's...so I was looking to be informed. So don't take your ball and leave, enlighten me. And the rpm range is a slightly different ball park with a 302 than 300. Nothing to get bent out of shape about.


oh yeah...for the record, I have enjoyed your contribution to this site in your short time here. You seem to be a really knowledgeable guy.
