Well, I hope you realize that a 302 with 351W heads is exactly the same as a regular 302 dimensionally.

I have a 302 in my car and believe me, the plugs are a piece of cake compared to 75% of V-engine cars out there. If I had the choice between a 302 Maverick and a new four cylinder Ranger I'd chose the Maverick.

Sorry but I'm just sick of hearing people complain about how hard it is to change plugs on these cars. If its too hard then pay a shop $40 to do it. If you want something easier to work on get a six cylinder. Don't like the headers? Put stock manifolds back in.

If you want improved performance you'll just have to deal with the consequences. I don't rant often but I just think its ridiculous for people to modify thier cars and then turn around and complain about how 'hard' it is to work on.


:I have a 302 with 351w heads. Manual steering, I cannot get my header out on the drivers side without raising the motor about 3 to 4 inches. When I tried to remove it, it was a " I QUIT" match with a 1 hour time limit, and the header won! No modifications done to the shock towers(yet) To change the plugs can be done with headers, just be patient!!
