    Awesome!! It's nice to have lots of help getting an engine out.
    That was a wicked storm yesterday, seemed to keep coming and coming. I got a sun burn on my neck, working on my Mav.

    Kirk, great to see forward progress. It will be a whole different car with the 302 in it. Is the 302 going to have some go fast goodies?

    Ya, 302 with mild to mid cam, headers ,650 holley, preformer intake,went with the champion 3 row radiator, c-4 shift kit,2 and1/2 out the back. I figure once this is installed I can always start work on a secound engine. I will see how it works out. :thumbs2:
