Evening guys and gals,

I have the opportunity to buy a running 1986 302 with Aod from a mercury cougar that has a 137,000 miles on it.
Complete engine and transmission with wiring harness and computer.

Price $100..

Pretty much a no brainer for me.. But I have questions..

Should i attempt to run fuel injection or make it look period correct? I have the tins to make it look correct. Would require buying intake, carburetor and other odds and ends.

My plan would to clean it and re-ring it unless it absolutely needs a bore over.
I'd also cam swap it and mill the heads and block during re-ring to boost compression some.

Thinking of installing this in the squire wagon. Not looking to build high horsepower. But more of a torque motor to better pull a travel trailer.

So input on cam choices. Engine is supposed to be roller block.

Shasta is gone.. went a little smaller with a nicer floor plan.
