    Power estimate for this 302

    My buddy is thinking of buying this 302 motor. This is the list of specs, all I have. Any estimates of power? I'm not well versed on this subject.

    Edelbrock performer aluminum heads
    Dominator carb

        Ya, totally mismatched. I'd be weary.

        That setup needs a 600 cfm carb. I'd say it would make 340 at the crank if it was tuned right and had the best carb.
        that cam with TW heads can make 360 hp on a 5.0

            220-275 HP at the crank is my estimate, but you need to know something about the short block in order to be sure. Compression ratio will make a difference, as will miles on the combination. Those Edelbroke heads aren't much better than E7s.

                Finally, a realistic estimate.
