: Want to biuld a 250 performance six but saw a 302 in a 4-door Mav at the salvage yard. Guy will sell it to me 200$ as is. So....hmmm...302's are so damn cheap to build back to stock condition. It would be great to have. I don't know...I like the v-8 thing but not the 250 lbs more up front. Handling sucks right now the way it is. Drop me a message with your opinion of course.
According to my info the six cyl. weighs in at 385lbs and the 302 is 460. A 75lb difference. New shocks etc. will do wonders. The 302 swap will give you more performance and reliability for the money.
