So, i have a stock 85 HO 302 w/ AOD. it is going into a 73 mach1 (keeping origninal on shelf). The mach is F code, C4 trans (thought was fmx but not) and has 2.79 rear gears.
My main priority is putting that engine and trans into the car to increase hp/drivability. When it goes in i will be adding a e303 cam, (probably) ported e7 heads, and a dual plane intake yet to be determined, and a edelbrok 1406 (E choke) 4 bbl carb. Are those rear gears going to kill me? id like to make nice hp up to 5500 max, not a strip car but not a dog at the light. looking at AFR 165 heads but thats likely to be after the install
Budget is low so also what should i do before i begin, dont wanna have to rip nething out (cam) thats a pain once its in there.
