Just thinking what I did with intake gaskets, but remembered that the alloy heads came with them.

Water pump should come with gasket?

I like the lifters and special lifter bores that are machined in and the cam needle roller bearings.

If you have time start watching on YouTube the engine build and development by Kelly Racing for their new 302 mustang.

They start will an off the shelf Ford Motor Sport 4 boot block and then work there magic.

660-670 HP.

When my block was measured before being 0 decked it was like .005 at one end and .022 the other and the opposite on the other bank.

Factory machining wasn’t flash at all.

I’ve priced up a few 6-71 kits over the years, you won’t get much change from about 8500, then it can be on the street.
It would be totally awesome to have a 6-71

Either would be cool, can’t go wrong with boost.

procharger also does a kit,the shootout with fryburger was interesting weiand vs procharger similar results with weiand down low and midrange and procharger up high.

They would be a really good upgrade, still doesn’t fit under the bonnet tho.

The air gaps are suppose to be better for cooling??? I run a 1 inch spacer on mine, doubt I’d notice any difference between the rpm and the rpm air gap.

I swapped the AU one off my 302w and the associated EFI gear for a brand new carb edlebrock rpm intake.

I remember those intake AU manifolds going for heaps in NZ, good up grade over the shit E series ones.

400M / Cleveland?

No didn’t end up getting it in the end, that was a few years ago. It was a genuine S pac Ute in chestnut with seirra tan interior. Factory 4 spd.

I showed too much interest as it was cheap as shit, but then the guy jacked the price up.

It’s like trying to get stuff to Alice Springs, can wait sometimes 3 to 4 weeks.

Cool...assemble and use.

Yes that is correct with the AU, Scotty Sutton (On Facebook) has the E series and a trim of the AC bracket and it will clear.
