302 / 306 Ford Long block, Cast Iron heads, 1.7 Ratio CRANE Roller Rockers

This auction is for a completely redone and HO  prepped 302 ford roller long block. This mildly hopped up stock replacement engine is for the person that wants a engine built for reliable everyday use at a fair price. (speed density friendly) Our new line of these engines shares all our normal machine work below that we do on all our full performance line of crate engines. The rockers are brand new Crane 1.7 ratio pedestal mount and  The heads are a stock open chamber Ford castings only with our personal touch of a 3 angle valve job, and semi short side port work for improved bottom end torque and increased performance. The valves and springs are brand new and for this hydraulic roller cam. We also install machined keepers and chrome moly retainers as well. Makes the new install a breeze and we supply all the left over gaskets for you too so no need to buy intake gaskets or others.  The camshaft is a HO RV Stock style Hyd. Roller camshaft with .447 intake lift and 472 exhaust lift and which we can setup for FI or carb. For your needs. It has a set of Hyd. Roller Trickflow lifters as well as a double roller timing set which has been degree in with the camshaft. It has an Aluminum timing cover and is a Stock style 50oz harmonic balancer. We use New set of head bolts and this comes with all the left over gaskets from a complete Fel-Pro set to aid in installation. We also prime all our long blocks so they are ready to go when you get them and the valves are adjusted as well. We install a new front or rear sump oil pan depending on your needs. The machine work on the lower end of the block includes; a complete cleaning and surface inspection of our blocks which starts by: being burnt and blasted in our cleaning system, then they all  get squared up by our BHJ fixtures which gives you a truly squared up deck surface after we mill them (a plus for holding a head gasket tight under high stress applications) and then they move on down the line to having their  lifter bores gauged and honed with our Sunnen lifter bore honing tools (so that you won’t have to worry about lifters galling or a tight lifter that doesn’t fit right during your build and cause you great frustration) Then off to being line honed in our Sunnen line hone machine. From there they go into our CV-616 hone machine where of course all of them get a set of honing plates put on them. (We have also seen a gain on the engine Dyno of at least 30-40hp, just from being honed with the honing plates vs. a 302 ford block .030 over with just a plain Jane hone job.)  This short block comes assembled with a set of coated seal power .030 or .040 over Hypereutectic Pistons which with stock heads will get you 9:4 to 1 compression. (which is what we reccomend with cast iron heads) We also have included a set of ARP main bolts installed at no extra charge. The piston rings are moly and the rod and main bearings are all brand name along with brass freeze plugs and a set of Dura bond cam bearings which are installed in the block. The crank is a like new std. Shaft or a .010/.010 fresh ground and magnafluxed stock 302 50oz shaft and we do offer a new 50 or 28oz crank for $200 more if needed in a 5140 steel version. The rods are a factory 5.0 style rod which has gone thru magnafluxing as well as being checked out for proper size and fit. Now we offer this long block in your choice of colors which are wide ranging (just let us know when you buy it) and we also offer a photo album build up of digital pictures of your engine, so you can feel like you’re in the room as we machine it and build it to fit your needs. (It’s also nice for the guy’s or girls like us who have pictures of our rides which started as a pile of nuts and bolts and ended up finished and at the local cruise night or out on the race tracks)
