Can't tell to look at, as you say, it's just the stroke. If your happy with it as it is, I wouldn't bother ! If you re-do the engine, then is a good time to check, as it's very easy to turn a 302 into a 351. Looks good in the photo - was it a straight swap, or cash to the XA guy!
Noice!.Welcome to the V8 owners club.Now you know the attraction.I can appreciate the time and effort that people put into their cars of choice but there's nothing like a V8 in full song.That'll be a head turner.Well done.

Very nice ride and good to hear you take security seriously, as mentioned about it being a mungi colour and their choice of car, you be silly not to take extra security measures. ENJOY the cruise=)

If safety is a concern why get an older car.

Old doesnt always mean unsafe. It has lap belts in the back and I want full belts for there car seats

You would want to be vigilant with security regardless of what the mob thinks.

John John John. You will never get it. It's a classic and also a mean V8, I don't think Jase was in the market for a Volvo

Why was my post deleted about "The Snitch" security system! Maybe "The Other Snitch" reported me about posting a link to the website! No self promotion, just suggesting an excellent GPS tracking alarm system. Oh well, no skin off my snozz!

Firstly don't call me john, yes I like older cars. But I was just making fact to the comment of I want this turn says this and this to upgrade the safety of it and mentions children.I do get but your twisting what I am saying, if safety is a concern full stop with kiddies don't get an older car. Don't get me wrong I have a v8 camaro, its in bits at the moment but it does count!

He wants to make the car as safe as possible - makes sense to me, he didn't say it was to be his daily driver with kids in the car.If it was me I would fit 2 3 point belts in the back and leave it at that.
