im not to familiar with the 302 chev, all i now is the there better then 305 for power, i wanted to put a 350 in my car but with the t5 , the torque is just to great. Does anybody know if the 302 would be a good combo for a t5 because of the lower torque specs, im not planing on making it to powerfull somthing like 280-300hp. Also if 302 chev are even available for cheap, i dont know nothing about them?

I've looked into building a 302, its not cheap, go with a 350 and avoid holding your foot on the gas between shifts ;)

without power shifting and to many dumps, how long would it hold up, and whats the cheapest replacement for t5 after i bust it?

Try a .060 over 283 or 307 block.

how much would one of those cost,and would it be better bang for the money then modifying my 305?

and how exactly do you power shift.....is that when you dont take your foot off the gas when you shift?
