Oh very nice. I thank you both for your responses.

Are the Roller Rockers that much better then the steel rockers? and how do i accuratly measure the push rod length?

Hey all. I was wondering, for those that have the 302 and gt40 heads, what rocker arm and push rod set up did you go with or what works best for it. I dont have the original arms or rods that came with the heads, but i do still have my original parts, if that helps. Thanks.

Ok. Question for you all. I have the 302 that I want to rebuild. My goal is to get as close to 500 as possible, and safely. I have been looking at this Ford 302 4340 Forged Competition Rotating Assembly 347ci 4.030'' Bore Premium Forged Flat Top Piston 11.0:1 w/54cc; 10.0:1 w/58cc; 9.6:1 w/64cc 3.400'' Crank Stroke 5.400'' Rod Length External Balanced Assembly As well as this Performer RPM Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft and Lifters - Pair of Performer RPM Cylinder Heads (complete) - Timing Cover Gasket and Seal Set - Cylinder Head Gasket Set - RPM Air-Gap 302 Intake Manifold - Intake Manifold Bolt Kit - Cylinder Head Bolt Set - Performer-Link Timing Set With an edlebrook 650 cfm carb. Would these two things get this 302 close to my goal? Thanks for your responses

Well good news. I took my starter out, replaced it along with the solenoid, prayed to the car gods and she fired up. On to the next task. Brakes. I am debating with myself what I should do. Eventually I want to convert all four to disc brakes. I have been looking into getting either the mustang steve cobra kits or a kit like curries sells. What would you all recommend

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering what to do for the back suspension. A new problem arose today however and i'm hoping you all can confirm my suspicion. I was able to get it started and running on Friday. I went to start it today, turned the key, the engine turned over once then "clunked". I tried it again and this time it just clunked. I am about 60 percent sure its the starter, but I am still learning. Is there anything else it could be? Thanks

I want to do a full restore, rebuild everything. I am still in the planning phase, trying to find out more about the car. I got it running tonight after it sat in a garage for 4 years, made me pretty excited. I am planning on making this a daily driver with stupid amounts of HP. :) Any hints or thoughts/suggestions would definitely be helpful and appreciated.

Here are some pictures hopefully

Hello all. I am the proud owner of a 69 coupe 302. I just bought it yesterday and towed it home today. It has been sitting in a garage buried under boxes for 4 years. It will fire up but wont stay running and the brake pedal is extremely squishy. But i bough it knowing i had a lot of work ahead of me and i am very excited to start working on it. Here's a few pics. Thanks.
