OK...I am very serious about getting this 302 into my focus...as much as I wanted a turbo/sc zetec...everything about my car scares me now...and I would rather have a mustang underneath.
I have decided to look to Fox Lake for bottom end duties which include a stock block 302..forged rods/pistons..and cast crank...now comes the fun part...
After the bottom end and conversion kit I am looking to do this for as little $$$ as I can...my goal being 10k over the next few years.
I would really like the car to have a power band located up in the RPMs as this will be a manual. Too much torque to the skinny wheels is doing the same thing my car does now.....sit there.
Any help here is greatly appreciated.
