Joe - regarding the specs...nothing earth shattering...
-Unknown mileage 5.0 roller shortblock...got it from a great local guy that does Fox 'Stang resto work - said it ran fine...gonna find out!
-Aforementioned pro ported E7 heads...they're iron junk, but MO the guy does beautiful work. Probably about as good as it gets with stock valve sizes and not sleeving the pushrod holes...he did a 5-angle valve job that's nuts!! They've been shaved a mite .010 or .020 (dunno without CC'ing them) so hoping deck clearance is also minimal to help get compression up! Got 'em for $250 bucks and spent another $140 on a valve spring & seal kit.
-Used FRPP B303 roller cam
-Weiand X-Celerator intake - ported by me...well, more like knocking down the sharp casting under the carb pad & evening up the runners/ plenum floor
-The 4776 Holley DP above
-90's set of Doug Thorley Tri-Y nickel-chrome headers...pounded out & welded from a previous owners 351W in Falcon attempt...also spent a day and a half beveling the ports to match the heads (which were matched to a FelPro 1450)...waiting to be painted!
-Bad-A** T5, bought w/ about 200 miles on it from the bro...he went Auto!!
-The 3.89 geared 9" you've seen a lot of, that I got to install twice (so far...)!
I picked-up stuff like a gasket set, oil pump, 260 timing cover, 6-blade Hi-Po fan, Canton road-race pan, etc. The PLAN is to take the alternator and brackets, put 'em on the 302, trim the tranny crossmember, swap the front driveshaft yoke & shoehorn it all in (along with the hydraulic clutch setup). We'll see!!
The hope is I can sell the healthy 260 complete the T10 and recoup some $$. That's the PLAN anyway!! Sorry for the rant, I like Fooooorrd engines!

Your engines gonna be stout...man I shoulda gone roller
