i prefer the billet grille personally. it seems to have a cleaner look. http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=16382&stc=1&d=1389896213
i had a buddy that had one of those a few years back. it was an old telephone company van. he had stuffed a big block into it, with a 6" lift, and a set of 39" super swampers. that thing was unstopable until he rolled it. that stopped it. was a really nice van though
the 302 was built to compete in the trans am circuit. it was only built for 1 1/2 years. it had to be able to be a contender in the t/a circuit it had to be less than (correct me if i,m wrong) 304 cid? it was a great lil motor, but not great enough to recreate. the 327 put it to bed. its still...
that recipie is an absolute antique. nobody builds a small 300hp stroker, for that cost. times are a changing. you can buy a really good stroker pumping 350hp all day long with a warranty for less than the cost of building a 302.
