This is the first part in a series of videos I want to make about budget performance on a Ford 302.
My goal is to demonstrate the gains you can get and the fun to be had without using high dollar performance parts.
In this video I show the baseline performance and discuss what I can do to improve it in the future.
I am starting out with a high mileage 302 from a 1987 ford F150. It has a 2-barrel intake from 1971, an oem style Holley 2bbl carb, and a stock flat tappet cam. I have replaced the bearings the piston rings, and ball honed the cylinders.
