Nothing special....a fully built 302/306 shortblock for $700?? It's probably loaded with cheap parts.Take your block to a machine shop, have them clean it up and prep it. Tell them you want your crank re-done with matching bearings...Here is a set of Ford Racing forged i-beams for $90. Price is legit..not sure how they sell them that cheap but they do.<a href="http://www.speedwaymotors.com/302-Super-Stock-Rods-509-Inch,1796.html" target="_blank">http://www.speedwaymotors.com/302-Super-Stock-Rods-509-Inch,1796.html</a>Invest in a nice forged piston like a Probe FPS dished set. Budget but will tak a beating..have the final compression with the heads in or around a 9:1<a href="http://www.probeindustries.com/Ford_302_FPS_Pistons_s/1014.htm" target="_blank">http://www.probeindustries.com/Ford_302_FPS_Pistons_s/1014.htm</a>Have them assemble it and have fun.Find a used Tremec 3550 and throw it in...tear up the streets..02</blockquote>
