ok so ive had my dads old truck laying around for some time now, i finally have the money to start my build, i picked up a 302 from a machine shop last week and lucked out, its from a 1991 thunderbird, has the gt40p heads, bored .30 over, new crank, new pistons, new conecting rods, new gt cam, new valvetrain, and ect. for $600, i have a c4 tranny to pair up with it, just hoping yall could shed some light on some of the problems i might encounter on the way with installing it, and what would the best way of going about it would be, my ultimate goal is to keep it 4x4 and to put dana 44's under it, truck btw is a 1988 ford ranger single cab 4x4 :beer:
