My 82 gt project

[Quick281]

This car came with a 4.2 according to the emissions sticker. Somebody put a 302 in it with a t5 and 8.8 rear.


Current mods,
302ho, edelbrock carb, performer rpm intake, f303 cam, long tube headers, msd ignition, accel coil, subframe connectors.

Just ordered a flowtech offroad h pipe to go with my mac pro dumps.

Nice. I'm a fan of the '82 GTs! Any plans for some aluminum heads? Or future mods?

Edelbrock performer rpm heads are on the way. Looking at some 1.7 rockers to top it off.
From there the plans include to keep up on fixing broken parts as i plan to beat the pants off this car

With a x-cam you better stick with 1.6 rockers unless your pistons are cut!

Think so? Was told it would be ok. Ill know whats in the engine next weekend. The guy I bought it from claims its a different rotating assembly but no way to verify till I tear it down.

Change of plans... buying a 306 to throw in!

 

[Timspony]

What's the specs on the 306?? Long block, short block?
