ford build
i just found this photo, a friend of mine took a whole summer slowly buying parts and building this 302. it was a lack of money issue. the block and crank were bored turned and prepped by a machine shop, he got antsy and wanted to drive it around before summers end. so he assymbled it without resizing the rods and installing NEW ROD BOLTS. as it was on the jacks breaking in the cam after about 20 minutes, it let loose. note the skirt on the piston where the rod smacked it, it also broke the bottom edge off of the cylinder it jetisoned from. and as well put a huge unreparible gash in the newly turned crank. and crammed it into the newly prepped head. if he had just waited to at least cram 50.00 worth of rod bolts in it, he would probably still be driving this car around.Last edited by mooneye777; 10-12-2006 at 12:23 AM.
