Thread: 302 id

I'm brand new here. Bought a 20 year old fiberglass build with a 302. Can anybody help me ID this motor. Numbers are from the block on top of the starter

E7TE is all I can read clearly

Thanks in advance
Jack

I see Tech beat me to the punch line.. 8-) One thing to understand the first 4 characters represent when the part was originally engineered, so a number like C4xx would be for a part originally engineered for a 64 product, but could've been ( has been) used in vehicles into the 70's or even 80's, so it's a combination of the first 4 then last 4 with any suffixes, that make a full number. HTH.

But welcome to the site and hope you enjoy your time here..
Since your new and all... I won't start off with the "requests" for pictures... yet!

"We" love seeing pics of the different projects and hope you'll share some of


ps, a great "cheat" is to type in the full number into a google search to identify what you have, then you'll get ebay results and yahoo etc. etc. etc. works pretty good!

I tried a photo of the engine number but the photo previewed huge so I didn't use it. Will post photo of the car after I figure out how to make photos smaller

If you need to, you can flip the pic to me in an e-mail, I'll shrink it and post it up for you.

Here's Jack's picture.

E7TE, 1987 Truck Engine.
Should have hardened seats in the heads already, won't flow as good as say a GT40 but it'll be good for all street car / cruiser.

How much horsepower you trying to get from it?
