    Hey guys been a while since I've been on here. Got a job at newportnews ship yard welding loving it and the pay. Picked up a 2000 GT mustang 5 speed stock 55k miles super clean now I'm getting on the maverick with some buddy's to make a weekend racer and crusier. :) she's going to a sleeper just picked up a 302 for 150 BUCKS. Ill post the pic I have of it I think its a roller motor its a 87 from a bronco pulled the heads and on the clyinders there's a .040 on each on stramped he said he took it from a buddy that rebuilt not to long ago and ran it in his bronco before. He took it from him and needed it gone since he was going over seas. So what heads and cam should I look for a budget built looking for about 300hp or more if possible.?

    Yea I found today that its just a hydraulic cam oh well how much would it be convert it over to a roller?

    Anyone have ideas of cam kits and heads? Looking for a good performing cam now since I have to replace the oil pump to make it a front sump pan along with swap my timing cover over for the dipstick. Thanks man
