Rebuilt 302 shortblock April 07, 2012, 12:43:43 PM The guy that had rented my shop has a stock rebuilt 302 for sale. It has what appears to cast flat tops that are (incredibly) 0.60 over. It's been sitting in storage for awhile and it kinda shows as seen in the pics below. There is some rust. It is E6 block. He is asking $300 for it. Quote Selected

Rebuilt 302 shortblock Reply #4 – April 07, 2012, 10:34:06 PM If it's a 78-81 assembly, it will be a 28 oz Imbalance and not be roller cam compatible. Combine that w/.060 cast pistons, it would appear to be less than desirable, if you are looking for a performance build. May make a good lopo truck motor, if you want to mess w/a flat tappet cam.
