    From the looks of it, that motor barely fit. That has to be bigger than a 302. Maybe a 347? Anyway, that's some great progress you've made on that bro, keep up the good work, and of course, keep the pics coming. You've put a lot of hard work into it, and it shows.

    Thank you, but HE IS a 302! I really want built a 347, maybe bi-turbo, but here in brasil, it's very expensive.

    347 is just a bored and stroked 302. Same block.

    Possible you're thinking of a 351, which is bigger then a 302.

    Jack,

    The car has come along ways since I was up there a few of months ago. It is looking good, very impressive. Let me know when you get it running and I will come up and take another look and a possible ride!

    Hi,
    No, i´m thinking in 347, just because use the same block. If i use another block,
    in brasilian drag racing, i up of super-stock to pro-mod, and to enjoy in this category, must have a much money. In pro-mod, there are big block chevy, big block dodge and big block ford. I dont have lung to acompain this guys.
    Do you have some idea?
