    I will try and answer all last post question. 1. The engine came from engine factory check out there website at www.fordcobraengines.com They are located in NJ and FL and carry a whole line of Ford Engines eveything from a 289 to 460 stroker. 2. Price is based on what package you get short block 302 is about 3500 turn key 6000. Mine is rated at 350+. 4. thoes are edlelbrock heads. 5. No it is not a stroker. In total the motor only weighs about 289 pounds lots of AL. I did post a picture of the car but I will repost. If anyone calls them direct tell you got the information off the person who just got one for his 1974 Mercury Comet Gt.

    I have another picture poasted at hello blue oval faithfull
