I pulled the Weiand (sp) single 4 intake off the 302 Ford in my T today. I had a GT cam and roller lifters to put in if the block was machined for it. When I got the intake off, it was a roller motor and doing some ruff measurements already had a GT cam, so I guess the motor is a 5.0 HO motor. I bought the T with no info on the engine, other than it was a 302. The reason for pulling the intake was to install a single 4 tunnel ram. I scavenged an oven and tried my hand at power coating. I worked on the intake some, due to the rough casting and still had a pretty rough finish. The powder coating doesn't do any filling. I have to find a vacuum fitting and a new carb fitting to finish it up. Had to make a new throttle cable bracket and added a flange to mount a tach on the back of the motor. Still have to wire it also. I promise to take a picture of the finished product. It's not flashy like some, but I am continually correcting and upgrading it. I am going to give up on the headers and buy some new ones soon.
Guys, I have 4 engines I pulled out of the woods and will probably end up scrapping them. Something I hate to do. I am trying to sell them for scrap price, but so far, no interest. If any of you guys can use any parts or the whole engines, I know Alabama is a long way from everywhere, I would really make a deal for you or your friend even. All the engines have been sitting uncovered in the woods for 20 years or more. There is a Ford 260, 400 Pontiac from a Grand Prix, a 302 short block, and a small flat head 4 cylinder with a cast on bell housing, has CWC cast on it. I don't know what kind of demand there is on Pontiac stuff, the 4 cyl is cute, the 260, maybe I can find a Mustang club and give it to them. The 302 might go in the shed. I just hate to scrap stuff.
