~Carbureted 302 help~

[Brian*]

What's up guys... (I know this is IMPORTatlanta but I know there are alot of muscle guys on here)

I just bought my 72 F100 for $2500, it has a mild 302 out of a 74 F100 (Cam, headers, head work, intake mani, and a Holly carb) I'm looking into doing the bottom end now, BUT I want some help on what kind of pistons and compression would be best for a Weiand 174 Powercharger supercharger...
Should I go bigger on the pistons or just stay as close as possible to stock?

Any help would be cool, thanks for taking the time* REPS will be given**




Here is a pic of the Supercharger... And link*

Are you looking for a short bed or does it matter? I know where 3 sit right now!

go forged, some nice Wiseco's are cheap for V8's. DOn't skimp on the cam, get one for a SC'd motor. The right cam with a blower makes a world of difference.


I got the hookup at Wiseco if you need it, I can PM you his number. The problem with those old blowers is that one funky carb goof and its detonation city. A knarley backfire will ruin the blower in one shot.

Why not just do a monster Big Block? It might be a ton cheaper and more reliable.

get it bored so you have true round cylinders, and get some forged low compression pistons, around 8.5:1
give Ball Engine a call they can hook you up with machining and parts.
