This is my engine, not yours. Did you forget how good mine ran even with two rivets bouncing around in the block. It'll be fine.

They're just the stock Cobra rockers which were made by Crane.

I truly hope it lasts, but 45ci is a big steps up, sure, you wont be seeing 7k but you should be expecting it to happen.

That's what the extra block in the garage is for but I don't plan on needing it.

Did a little more tonight. First I took a couple pictures of the intake ports. They're not great pictures but good enough. They don't match perfectly but close enough.



Next I installed the thermostat housing and then the headers. While doing the passenger side I discovered another bolt hole that needed repair so I pulled the header back off and fixed it.

Drilled


Tapped



Insert


Completed


A couple with the headers installed. These are Bassani 1 5/8 equal length shorties.




And here is the secret to making a Ford 302 last.



You have to have something from a Chevy.

It's better to have helicoils on the heads anyhow, the big dollar race heads are completely helicoiled. I'm jealous that you're done before me.

The blue car won't be done until the new year. I've lost all motivation for it.

The Cobra has been down for 5 months now. Hopefully I'll have it running this weekend. You need to figure out what's going on with the blue car and get it driveable.
