I have a ford v8 260 that came original with my car listed above.

Since it is essentially a Small Block Ford like the 302, other than some torque specs being different can I use your “How to build a ford 302” to help me along with the rebuild of my ford 260?


I hope I was clear.

Hi,

As far as a rebuild, certainly you could use it as a general guide. As you mentioned, there will be differences, but the actual procedures will be similar.

Is this a total rebuild?

Hey there!

Thank you so much for watching the series! Yes, you can use our 302 video series as a guide for any of the small block Windsor engines. Very few differences there.

If you need any help please do not hesitate to ask!

Best,
Ryan
