ok heres the deal....
I was able to get a carb'd 302 (bored out 30 over) out of a 79 F-150 for free. It is a complete engine, just needs rebuilt..... now, I will let everybody know, that I have never rebuilt an engine before (but have resources who have) and am planning on putting this in the Explorer after it is done. So what do you all think? Is it a good idea to put a carb'd 308 (after being bored) into an off-road (yes, it actually sees the mud and rocks) Explorer? Please tell me what you think, and I know I will be having questions, so your expertise will be greatly appreciated.
