hey.
i'm in louisville and have a 302 in my 88 ranger 4wd.
Work out in valley station if you ever want to check it out let me know.
Don't remember everything about it, but you can get a good idea of what its going to look like. I got some extra parts, too, if you need any. I think I have an extra 302 block in my garage.

50 dollars. If you take it somewhere and they say its cracked or otherwise useless ill give you a refund, i really dont know. I live off of beulah church, I work at the autozone in valley station(by wicks pizza) about 8-5 everyday. Got a slightly lifted red/white ranger in the parking lot. names alex you can drop by if you want. The block is at the house of beulah. Think I have some heads to(crappy ones), you can have everything I have for the same price.

Welcome to the Darkside, you help bring balance to the force. but what am I saying, the only ford i own is one I refer to as Satan's Motor Home ........ 21 foot fleetwood on a 95 E350 frame with a 460.
