Re: 5.0 302 V8 New Crate Motor Install

Thanks a lot guys I really appreciate it. Yep, I was planning on doing exactly as you said I use a digital camera to snapshot anything before I remove it (re-installation purposes) and usualy take step by step notes to document my work then separate parts/bolts into ziplock bags labeled with the step number. Huge help for me especially if I do the work over a couple weekends.

Interesting note about the 347 stroker motor. Is it the same block as the 302 just bored out?

Would the 347 require different parts (water pump ect.)?

As far as cylinder heads go I've done a lot of reading about the AFR 165, 185, and 205 heads would you guys reccomend these heads (kind of pricey)?

Are the 165s a bolt on, I'd like to go as high as I can, but want to avoid any potential piston to valve clearance issues
