Hi, I'm new here and after reading all the topics about 302 engines I think I should tell something about me.
My name is Gerben Faber and I'm from the Netherlands in Europe.
English isn't my first laugage, so excuse me for making mistakes.
I have a militay GMC amphibious truck called DUKW from 1944. Original it came with the 270 engine, but the previous owner Jack Tomlin from Toeele Utah put in a military 302 to gain more power to drive it on the road.
But with nowadays traffic I think it's still to slow. I read somewhere on the web that the civilian 302 has more power. But it needs changing the from enginemount Does any of you guys have more info on this?
There is a civilian 302 from 1955 on Ebay now for $3000. Is that a fair price? Or should I go a different route? I would like to keep the original look in the engine bay.
Thank you for your input, Gerben
