There are still a lot of used but rebuildable 302 heads kicking around, can be had for not much. Still, in the States their aftermarket alloys are a lot cheaper than ours, and rebuilding factory iron 2Vs would be less and less feasible for HP per dollar.

If he insists on getting hold of some, maybe you could strike a deal with him?

Sounds like a sound plan.
Best of luck 2red, hope the buisness goes well.

Yes bear I just bought it cause I never seen a Morse type with a multi Index sprocket on e bay says sold heaps of them ? Seem popular with a stocker,that big cork is a lot bigger than a rocker cover oil cap its about 5 inches

Finished the back of the block,now get it back to the mill,also heaps of parts have come including this nice oil slinger from America,also a juicy big single row chain set that has multiple keyways I never seen one of these so I thought to give it a go

The 460 gasket set is huge I guess that's why it's soooo expensive,it don't come with the factory steel manifold tray that's why I bought one cheap as I'm using the cast iron manifold,gerg what the hell are all these other gaskets and round cork thing.could be later efi stuff ? As 1 gasket set does both engines

That timing chain is a standard Morse chain. Multi link for maximum quiet. Multi keyed sprocket is for advancing/retarding the cam. 
Reckon that round corky is for under the oil filler cap. ??

big block into XA to XF mounts?

You don't really need the turkey pan tray. Those blue gaskets in that set work awesome

Yeah mate I think you're right about the different gasket set, the big one with two holes looks like a throttle body gasket (they had twins from memory). Dunno what the cork one is, never seen or worked on one to know.

After spending a lot of time cleaning this block it's come up quite nice and all it needs now is a bore and hone and 1 more hot wash,I would say 95%of the rust has been removed and well worth it

Yes dale it's only the bolt head that is different I have come across that same thing,thread should be the same

am thinking it may have been made bigger. I put the motor inthe car in a hurry. Did the drive around at the time with not much luck to source  new one.  here i go again
thanks guys
 

Yeah, different manufacturers had different sizes of hex head. They used to sell a plug stamped OS, for "oversize", but haven't seen one for ages. Yours may have well been drilled and tapped the next size up, 'cos the thread was stripped, look up the sizes for Commodore/Kingswood or maybe British cars. Easy fix would be either a new sump or a helicoil. 
 
Cheaper to scrounge the wreckers for the next sized sump plug, I reckon.
