Hi guys! I've got a 69 mustang coupe I've had for several years now, that's a daily driver. The engine has finally gotten to the point where I can't bear to see my baby like that, so I pulled the engine a few days ago with the help of my brother, a chevy guy.
Anyways, I'm not looking for a race car, just a nice driving mustang with a little bit of git up and go. Actually the car with the engine almost blown still had power to spare, if you can believe it.
I'm just looking for suggestions on minor things I should do, I know this group has probably rebuilt thousands of 302's. I dropped the block off at the shop today, they're boring it .030 over, and sanding and polishing the crank, which we'll be reinstalling with 10 over bearings.
I'm thinking stock cam. Is that rediculous or alright for what I'm looking for? Any tips or things I need to know while I'm doing this?
tranny is a c4 automatic, and the engine is the original 302. It appears that it's never been rebuilt, and is actually the original engine from 69 according to the casting numbers. Heads are the stock C9OE's
Thanks for any replies!
