So not like I don’t have enough to do, but thinking about building a 402 motor or maybe just a refresh.
I can get a good running 72 402 truck motor basically for nothing. What little I’ve read, they’re torquey but pretty anemic in stock form as big blocks go.
I’m not an engine expert. I know how to do all the work but not “what works”. Especially with this engine and not just throwing the whole checkbook and a couple credit cards at it, lol.
Let’s say I wanted 400hp min and a good smooth torquey engine for the 86.
what would I need to do to this engine?
