Rev up your engines, classic car aficionados! Feast your eyes on the Ford Ranchero 1971 in all its glory. Under the hood, you’ll find the legendary 302 CID V8 engine, a Windsor marvel that’s been turning heads (and tires) since the 60s. It’s got more images than a photographer’s gallery—thanks to Gateway Classic Cars—and each one is a real wheely good time. Click away and get ready to fall in love with this vintage beauty all over again. Zoom, zoom!
The Ford Motor Company 302 engine is a part of the Windsor group of block castings, with no less than seven bore sizes used of the same basic block over a 28 year period. From the smallest and original 221 (3.6 L) bore to the largest, a 351 (5.8 L); used in Ford and Mercury products from 1962 through to 1990 in various displacements, but the 302 cu in (5.0 L) is the most enduring version. This 5 liter is still available as a crate engine in 2017 and is very much in common use today, both for the street or racing.
