302w SBF Engine Build! | Progress Has Been Made! | 1965 Mustang Motor Coming Together | Piston Issue

we finally get started on the long awaited 302 windsor sbf engine build! this motor will be for our 1965 ford mustang "The Iron Horse" and it has been a struggle that always boils down to this.

our AFR (Air Fuel Research) 165 Renegade Cylinder Heads with the bigger 2.02 intake valves will not work with stock syle pistons because of the small valve reliefs. so I had been attempting to just slap some iron heads on this build to just get something up and running. well unfortunately machine shop costs are through the roof! so now I am biting the bullet and just going to spring for new pistons.
