Lockhart Performance

Aboutus Image

Born into a racing family and obsessed with performance since birth!

My love of old Fords started at age 15 when my grandfather gave me a 1956 Ford pickup. He did this, of course, to spite my Chevy to-the-bone father! But honestly, I love it all. It just has to smell of gas and oil and make rumbly noises!

To the right we have my dad racing his custom '69 Corvette in the SCCA open class. Mom is over the rear corner of the car in a cowboy hat getting ready to clean the windows.

Why Lockhart Performance Specializes in the Ford 302

  • The later roller 302 blocks are indestructible and perfect platforms for performance builds. They are a perfect powerplant for hot rods, Jeeps, and whatever off-road build you have in mind.
  • Fords need to run Ford power plants, as God intended it. Sorry folks, I don't make the rules.
  • With the right cam, intake, and headers a Ford 302 comes alive and there is nothing like the exhaust note of a well tuned SBF!

    • Thank you for visiting Lockhart Performance. I know we will help your 302 based build come to life!

Our Business is Different

Builder Support

Ford created a unique problem for us SBF builders. They used numerous combinations of accessories, oil pans, timing covers, dipstick locations, and on and on. We are builders, just like you, and are here to help you get it right the first time.
Customer Driven

We don't run this company on product reviews. They are too easy to manipulate and not a very scientific way to assess the quality of a part. Instead, we use advanced analytics and mine our product sales and returns data to see what products are not up to our standards. Additionally, we regularly survey our customers so we get a wide variety of feedback on our products and our business.
Quality

The right parts for your build may or may not be the cheapest option available. We like to save money where we can on our builds so we can invest in the highest quality parts where it matters. It is always cheaper to buy the right part the first time than second time around.
