A torque-monster 302 can burn rubber --- and save Gauze.
Compared with other engines of coincident displacement, Ford's inappreciable 302-cubic-inch (5.0L) V8 is a torque-making beast. Torque is the motivation enforcement that propels your vehicle down the plan, and is a plain supply of engine efficiency relative to displacement. Burgeoning torque output without increasing engine displacement or adding a supercharger, and you accession fuel milage. You can appreciate the 5.0L's inherently fuel-saving qualities by selecting parts and treating the ones you chalk up to adorn torque at low revolutions per minute.
Instructions
1. Day one with a 1987 and successive iron block machined for a curler camshaft. Invest in a locate of iron GT-40P heads. These heads are among the most efficient and blessing flowing Ford ever produced, and their 59cc combustion chambers Testament commit you a Knob in compression.
2. Obtain a lightweight crankshaft, hypereutectic pistons designed to income a 10.5:1 compression ratio with 59cc heads and polished/shot-peened connecting rods. Admit the meeting balanced for an internal balance, which eliminates the must for a substantial harmonic balancer or balancing weights. The lightweight rotating meeting Testament shorten parasitic drag for increased torque.
3. Coat the tops of the pistons, combustion Hospital ward roofs and the insides of the intake/exhaust ports with ceramic-metallic powder-coating. This crucial development Testament deposit thermal impact inside the combustion chamber and exhaust ports where it can cure to build faculty instead of simply dumping into your engine's cooling course. Bake all powder-coated parts at 400 degrees as per your coating manufacturer's recommendations.
4. Shop for a fix of long-tube race-style headers and exercise the intake manifold designed for use with the GT-40P heads. The low-tension rings will build power and help efficiency, but they won't seal unless you use a crankcase vacuum pump.7. Use an electric water pump, electric cooling fan and underdrive pulleys for the alternator and power steering pump.
6. Assemble the engine using a Ford E303 camshaft, low-tension piston rings, a windage tray to keep oil off the crankshaft, fully rollerized rocker arms and Teflon-coated bearings wherever possible. Install the intake and exhaust manifolds and a supplementary crankcase vacuum pump. Coat the inside and outside of the headers with ceramic powder-coating, and do the same to the underside of the manifold.5. Coat the inside surfaces of your engine block, the crankshaft counterweights, connecting rods and the bottoms of your pistons with an oil-shedding coating and bake as per your manufacturer recommendations. This process will keep oil from collecting on surfaces where it doesn't belong and contributing to parasitic drag.
