Don't try to power shift it as you will only wear out your T-5 earlier than normal. Fox Lake is a good place for the short block but your 302 should have at least 100,000 miles or more left in it. Why not just put the GT40P heads and the cam in it and have fun? Why replace a barely broken in 60,000 mile short block unless you plan to step up the RPMs a lot and/or run a lot of nitrous.

My only advice is, concentrate on trying to do the same thing in the same place every time... Good luck [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

Love the advice on my request. I have read and many has said the same thing about the low miles I have on block. They last for many miles.

I don't drive this car much, but when I do I go crazy with it.I have seen this summer that it is smoking when I run it hard from A to B. But I think it might be the valve seals are dried up,what do you think??[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spongebob.gif[/img]
