This has been a long time build. Just waiting to finish the heads and it will be done.

I'll trade you the 302 in the 70 for that one. What's with the belt are you going to be blowing it? Also :drool:

:D :D :D :D Funny Funny Funny

Believe it or not all it's for is the alternator. It just looks cool. Oh, and it wines like the gear dirve on the cam does. I thought it would sound cool to. 8)

Dang thought I had a new motor :lol: Yeah the belt had me fooled. My dad had a gear timing set instead of chain and I love the little whine they make :D

Nice looking 302. You want to trade it for a greasy one and some boot? I'd love to have your 302. Oh, and by the way the boot is size 12! On a serious note, that's a nice looking engine. I bet it'll scream when you're done. Keep us posted.

Thanks Joshpow. What good is only one boot. It would have to be at least two boots just for me to think about it. :lol: :lol:

Thanks for looking.

Hey, if two boots make for a trade, I'll find the other one! Just kidding. Nice powerplant there.

I will keep my opinion to myself about the "pulleys" but please, PLEASE, get a real fuel filter. Those screw together plastic/glass one are a fire waiting to happen. PLEASE get a real one.

I agree with you :oops: ! That one was on the old motor. The new one will be a canister unit back by the fuel cell, before the electric punp. I will also be using the internal ones in the carb.

Boy, nothing gets past you guys. :D :D
