I haven't worked on it in a while because I started working on my other car again and doing a little moving. My new space to work on my car has way more room than my last shop, so now I can really get things done and have some space and not have to worry about moving things around and other people in my way.
My friend and I modified some Honda Del Sol seat to fit in the car and they feel pretty good in the FC. Last two things on the list to make it drivable is getting my exhaust welded up and relocating the front sway bar forward a little to clear the 302 oil pan

So it's a stock 302, pushing about 225 BHP right?
Why not a stock 13B-T with 205HP, for approx. 1000$ used?
BTW, my bro is building his 88 Mustang with a 347 stroked 302, his goal is 400whp N/A. But it's more expensive than a 20B
AFR 180 Heads, Holley SysteMax Intake etc...

Even tho I would never put a v8 in my FC or an FD, I would put a v8 in before an rb or sr motor. I'd rather put a little bit of america in my car than a dumb Nissan motor. I own an s13 too but I would never mix them. V8 at least has some awesome torque and power at stock and fresh out of the box..

Because RB series motors are garbage

Sure, no problem, I work in Menlo Park but you can come down and check it out when I bring it back to the shop. The FB is a little easier from what I here and the kit is a little cheaper too.
