1971 302 upping horse power?
I have a 1971 ford Torino wagon. Has a 302 with auto trans. No exauhst. Motor has mild cam and bored.30 over with a stock 2 barrel carb. I wondered how much horse power a new intake manifold with a 4 barrel carb will Ruffley add. And how much headers and exauhst would add also. Just looking for a ruff estimate
This is now a bored out engine. Your entire build should be based on the dynamics of your new specs.
What kind of intake and carburetor you want to go with? Type of exhaust setup with either long or short headers? Just saying "4 barrel intake and carburetor w/headers and exhaust" is too vague and generic to give you any kind of sensible answer my friend.
Do not know the exact numbers, but moving to 4 barrel and an upgraded intake should provide a very noticeable performance increase. Since you are currently running no exhaust, I do not know how much new headers and adding an exhaust would add.
Talk to the guys at www.summitracing.com they are intimately familiar with all things pertaining to American V8's.
- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.

- Horse trailer electrical to my truck I have a 2010 Ford Explorer and I'm getting ready to purchase a 1980 Imperial 2 horse trailer. My truck and the other owner s truck have a 7 prong connector and I need to know if there's wiring that connects from my truck straight to the trailer or if it just connects right to it without wiring. I have not seen the trailer in person or tried it out as it is too far away to make more than one trip.
