I put a crow cam stage 2 in my sons van  with a 350 holley +pace maker  extractors 2 1/2 " system and a good  elecrtronic dizzy and i think this works on a 202 motor with standard auto .but I think with a a shaved head,  ported + polished and new ground valves you would make a better motorbut this is a can worms .BUT best deal is to ring crow cams and tellm what you need and they will tell yah what you need because IM pushing a house brick at 110ks and your pushing  a concreate block at 110ks so just ring or talk to the people that can really help you only because your concrete block is bigger than my house brick( becaurse  every body knows a local guru )So just tellem want you want and they will and they will help

G'day

Blue and Black 202s are known to throw No. 2 rod out the side of the block when pushed. I know from experience.
A set of ARP rod bolts is a good investment. Never thrown a rod with them on despite some very ratbaggery behaviour.
That is the only mod needed to the bottom end.

Think I'll run to extractors, 350 carby and electronic dizzy fa now and check it out frm there, thanks fa advice re rods, I had heard of those issues ta

and stud pattern matchs anythin special fa mags?

Cheers Ritch

Unless it's been changed, It will be Bedford stud pattern.
TradeMe has usually got Cheviot mags to fit. Nothing else matches exactly.
