    i cleaned up the timing cover and looks like this one is in gc,but here we go again this is only for a late model waterpump yeah ? i was gunna go for the old school look,and run a water pump on the left hand side,or stick with this one and refurbish the serpantine systym ?

    I have the timing cover to suit an old school water pump which has the provisions for the fuel pump.

    Balancer is a four bolt 50oz, can’t remember the brand but it has survived a number of 6500 pulls.

    Not sure mate, I know the AU headers will squeeze into E series as that’s what I did selling them off to a mate with an EB, he also put the gt40p heads on too.

    Nothing off the shelf due to the spark plug angle, however I have Hurricane 4 into 1 headers and I had them fitted to GT40p heads, you would need 90 degree spark plug boots from memory to help them from hitting the pipes.

    Those headers you have won’t even come close getting into an X series, been there and tried haha.

    If you can find the articles relating to Dick Johnson’s Pine Pac mustangs in the 80s they are a good read on how he managed to get 380hp from the asthmatic 302w back then.

    You can get four bolt pulleys, I have a set. The issue is that there’s different depth water pumps and balancers, is getting them to line up is a pain. You can get spaces though.

    That’s why I run a gilmour belt.

    If I could ever build another Windsor it would be pretty much what I described above.

    I’ve seen some really cool builds on the net for the little Windsor, one liked the most was:
    Dart block 4.125 bore
    Steel 302 size crank
    Alloy Cleveland style heads etc
    Big roller cam
    Comes out at around 330ci

    Made just under 800hp on engine dyno. Wasn’t street friendly.

    Anyone know the bore and stroke and in a Ford 5.0 V8 supercar? I’m thinking the biggest bore possible around 4.185 and a stroke of 2.8 inch or similar???

    i bet there is hardly anyone on this site  that has actually seen a boss 302 in the flesh,very rare in aus,gerg also knows about the tunnel port 302 

    I know of a made up boss using 2V Cleveland and 302w bottom end in an XY.

    Runs a toploader and a 9 inch, made 290hp at the wheels at 5500rpm.

    For the money you would spend on setting up Cleveland heads you could put some Trickflow 11r Windsor heads on the 302w for probably less money and have more power.

    Just reading about the 302 boss from 1969/70, rated at 290hp at 5200, great advertising by ford to try and pull the wool over the eyes of the muscle car haters and insurance companies back in the day, that motor could spin to 8000.

    From the factory they have 155cc intake and flow a tad under 200cfm at .500 lift through a small 1.85 intake valve.

    Which isn’t too bad really for a little factory Windsor considering a stock 2V Cleveland head flows the same.

    there is soooo much stuff to browse and get carried away on,with these late model smallblocks,seems a good upgrade for the gt40p heads is a trickflow valve spring kit,shims and locks,and some other stuff.

    The issue with the gt40p head is that it is good for about 300hp if you bang in a bigger cam and some compression.

    I did look into building up a set but bang for buck it wasn’t worth it and I went alloy.

    I have a real liking for the little 302 rollers.

    Going to a 1.7 ratio rocker will give it slightly more cam lift as it is increasing the ratio from 1.6

    The factory cam in the base AU 4.0 is about .444 lift with the 1.6 ratio rocker, by going to the 1.7 ratio will increase the cam lift to roughly .470

    The E303 is a good match for the GT40p heads and they run out of flow around .500 lift, not much point having a huge cam and restrictive heads.

    From memory the 40p head flows about 200cfm at .500 lift.

    The E303 which 220@50 and .498 lift is a great mild cam, has a chop to it and performs ok. Be ok with factory springs and rockers.

    You can get this grind from most cam manufacturers.

    You will have to run a steel dizzy gear with aftermarket roller cams.

    Just depends what you want to do with it.
