they fit in scorpion so im guessin it would? there was one on ebay last year, a siggy, but i think it was 253..

[amgis_obrut]

you could fit 2 windsors in a sigma bay

[516MA]

but why would you bother with a 302 ?

well im pretty sure this is a 302.

OK if you only drive in a straight line. Not good for going around corners.

a guy from wauchope nsw (near port macquarie) has/had a 302 with a 6/71 blower on it in a GE Sigma.
supposedly 500hp....

the thing used to launch like vin diesels car in the fast and the furious lol
would lift the front end a foot and smoke up the rear at the same time.

he got done for speeding in it and i dont know what happened to him,
havent seen him for a while or the car.

SO YES IT CAN BE DONE....

and like karl said DO EEEETT!

hehe narr if i was to do it ill be doing a windsor hehe and ive just been thinking since u watch pretty much all the super sedan semis and finals and they never have a 4 or 6 or turbo something in there its always N/A v8.

so instead of a v6 turbo just use a v8 windsor?

does anyone no how high they rev and whats better behind them powerglide or c4?

Nick

you can rev it over 10000rpm if you build it right

but theres no need to rev it over 7000rpm

Id go a C4

[516MA]

so whatdo you reckon windsor or commo v6?

Nick

[leoca]

V6 would be cheaper .There was one in the paper here on the weekend for $350!!, with all you need to run it.
Do you want old school or embrace technology???
I dont know what you'd do about the gearbox though.Just have a custom housing made I suppose

i know a guy that has a v6 commodore running 11s and it cost him about 16k.

And u can buy kits for 347 windsors for about 4k so seems cheaper with the windsor.

Nick

[amgis_obrut]

Id go the windsor and C4

[516MA]

ive been offered a 351 Cleveland for very cheap, its complete from filter to sump to headers ;) now i no im not going to be using much of it but is this a good start will this fit? just there is a heap load of parts for a 351 clev and nearly all ford super sedan cars out at willowbank run either a 347w or a 383 clev. and they see the 347 as a 'learner engine' then step up.

a sigma engine bay is a fair bit wider than a falcon bay
a clevo is 1" wider than a 302 and about 1/2" longer/higher

it will fit width/height wise with ease length might be a problem

25.5" wide

29.25" long

29" high
