MaxLT- So if I were to get the explorer GT40 heads they would bolt right up, but I'd have to find headers for an explorer? Also, I agree that there is no substitute for ci. My thought process though was that my car was already set up for a 302, I've already ordered quite a few parts for a 302, etc. Not only that, but anyone could drop in an over-sized big block and go fast. I find the challenge in taking an innocent little 302 and building something mean.

Just to clear everyone up, I have about two grand I could drop in the motor if it meant significant difference. Right now what I have planned is performer intake manifold, 600 cfm carb, pertronix ignition system, aluminum radiator/new fan, headers, 5 speed, and 3.73 posi in the rear. I'm considering going with a 347 stroker kit along with some racing cams and new heads. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with the 347 or not. Also, if I got the GT40 heads, do I need to do any modifications to install them or are they bolt on?

I plan on doing a lot of body/performance work this winter. I have already have a good list of parts I deemed important. 650cfm carb, performance intake, new radiator/fan, pertronix ignition, headers, etc. However, I haven't decided on any mods I want to do to the motor itself. I can't go out and buy a crate racing motor, like we all wish we could. I have heard some things about affordable mods, but I've heard too many variations. I've heard 289 heads will help, but I've also heard newer mustang or explorer heads are better. Any other suggestions about new cams, cranks, heads, or any other fairly affordable mods that will help the 302? I appreciate any feedback!

Thanks for all the help! I had considered going to shaker, but I had thought that there was already a cutout that would fit the shaker, and the non functional scoop was just placed over top. I just figured they made the same hood with the cut-out for all 69's, guess not. I appreciate the feedback, I'm still getting into the restoration world. Trying to keep muscle in the younger generation!

I have a '69 mustang with a 302 that will be getting lots and lots of work this fall/winter. My mustang has the stock decoration hood scoop, and it appears that it already has the cutout for the shaker hood, and the non functional scoop was placed on top. If I take this off, will the shaker system fit in the stock cutout? I appreciate any feedback!
