Thread: 302 Clevor build?

Tweet

What about a cam how do i pick a cam? Oh also do I buy timing gears for a 302 or a 351C since I'm using the 351C cam? Should i update the lifter?

techinspector1 I have been good friends with the guy for 10 years time to let so air out of his head and bring him back to the ground haha. I have never really cared who out does my motor just my friend haha. 1 time will me fun.

I'd build the motor at 11.5:1 static compression ratio and use this cam with a 4000 stall converter and a set of 4.62 gears in your 8" diff....

I'm recommending a flat tappet solid ONLY because you said CHEAP.
You will not need centrifugal advance in the distributor, so remove the weights and tie-wrap the whole mess down tight to eliminate centrifugal advance. Install the tie wraps so that the locking nib is on the bottom, out of the way. Put all the advance in at the crank (you'll have to determine what the motor wants). Interrupt the hot line that goes to the coil and install a momentary push button switch that opens the circuit when pushed. Push the button, turn the ignition key to begin the motor spinning, then release the button. Otherwise, the starter motor will not be able to spin the crank against the compression created with this much initial ignition timing.

Cut the heads for Crane 96877-16 springs (1.460" O.D.) and install at 1.850" height with Crane 99969-16 retainers.

Flip through here and choose your converter. The 302 is a small bellhousing block, so you will want to use a C4 that has been extensively rebuilt to take the power and rpm's that you will be feeding it through the race converter....

Use checking pushrods to get the right length. Rocker tip should be in the middle of the valve tip at half-lift.

Start searching right away for used parts. Some of this stuff is gonna be hard to find used.

techinspector1 Can i use these rocker arms http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-27750-16/ with http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-96877-16/ and http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-99969-16/
Also what about new valves would these work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TFS-51900252/ with http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MIL-45685-8/and http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MAN-11800-8/

and will this work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6268-A302/ with http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-364761/ with http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-99280-2/

Anything i need to change before i start ordering parts? total of $1400 add the $250 for the intake and I'm only $100 over my budget. Not bad

Valve spring part numbers are for 302 heads. Will post correct numbers for 351 head, but have to get some sleep right now.
