    Welcome to the Madness!

    Consider rebuilding the 302 instead of cutting it up to put in a 351. As a 302/a/c Sprint, it has to be rare and worth more left alone. You will make more money if you decide to sell it if left alone. You can count all the Sprints on this board on 2 hands.

    Congrats on your find.

    Looks to be in the same shape mine is in. Maybe I should post my vin tag too. These guys seem to have the touch in the decoding of them. Good luke with your build and keep us posted as to progress.

    I was thinking the exact same thing! Since it's a rare car, i won't cut it. You can still have a lot of fun with a 302
