Some people will tell you anything to sell a vehicle :x

You are so right!!!!!!!I bought a backhalf vega off here last year that supposedly had a all forged 355 4 bolt with dart 230 heads,big roller,victor intake etc.After tearing it down it did very much so have dart 230 aluminum heads(I could see that on the motor) comp roller 630 630..BUT!!! it had a cast large journal 327 crank ,stock rods and trw 12.5 to 1 pistons.EVERY rod bearing was wiped.It did however have a 350 4 bolt block(that I re-used)..Unless you take it apart to see...you never know what your buying.... :roll:

like I said just because the block is a 350 block it doesn't mean it is a 350. If it has an 1178 crank in it it is a 302.

This is what I was thinking too. I thought I read that somewhere too. 327 block, 283 crank??

The 302, 327 and 350 all have a 4 inch bore. The only difference is that some of the older engines utilize a small journal crankshaft. The 302 has a 3 inch stroke, the 327 has a 3.25 inch stroke and the 350 has a 3.48 inch stroke.

The 302 was a 327 with a 283 crank as was said...4" bore 3" stroke..BUT IN 1969 ONLY they used a LARGE JOURNAL crank. 1178

67 and 68 were small journal

No 302 is Chevy territory boy!! :lol: :lol: Chevy screwed Ford by copying the Mustang but we can't help it that Chevy perfected what Ford couldn't lively :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you do havbe an 1178 crank it is wortyh some money. I had a NOS one that my dad gave me...he had it ratt holed all these years with plans of building a 302. I sold it for around $1000 on ebay
