Removed the lower intake and found this shit show. The pic is the worst one all the intake ports have rust in them. If some one with more engine building experience could tell me how boned I am that would be grate?

Well fuck I was trying to avoid doing a rebuildComment

Doneskies. I would check the rest of engine too...rust in the intake doesn't bode well for overall engine health.Comment

pull the heads, see what the bores look like. if they're OK, just wirebrush the intake ports and slap the heads back on. if not... well, it's your call, but i wouldn't use it for race applicationsComment

And the carnage continues noticeable rust on cylinder bores :D. Any one here rebuild a 302 if so what was the ball park cost?Attached FilesComment

yeah i kinda thought so. I have tryed to contact the top link before last year some time dude seems extremely unorganized would never call me back. I am not tucking another "fresh rebuild" off Craigslist the motor i have in this post is the second one. FML i am just about done with the used crap. any places locally that can sell me a responsibly priced engine? I think i have seen your black e30 Todd black 88 it is fucking nice.Comment

if you weren't gonna have to bore it out it'd be pretty cheap (sub $300) but at this point you'd almost hit that figure on the pistons alone. besides, with the bores in that condition i can only wonder what the shape of the crank journals areComment

I am thinking crate engine at this point any thoughts on blueprint engines http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...&storeId=10001Comment

For the price of that Jegs engine, you can buy a good running Mustang, even take a ride in it to confirm engine condition, and sell the rest off to save some $$. There are tons of them around that the PO sunk money into and sell the car for slightly higher than what a stock one is worth.Comment
