typically use a cast iron block with aluminum heads (although variants have an all-aluminum construction). Mass-production has made the common versions very available and affordable. There are many minor improvements over the previous SBC, such as adding a coil-over-plug ignition, steam vents, and the cam location was raised slightly to allow a longer 4-inch stroke. One major improvement was that a deep skirt was added around the crankshaft (similar to the 426-Hemi race engine from 1964), using cross-pinned six-bolt main bearing caps, which are known to easily survive 800-HP in their stock form. Although the aluminum blocks and the displacements from 6.2L to 7.4L remain expensive, the two most notable versions for swaps are the 5.3L LM7 and the 6.0L LQ4/LY6, all of which can be found in salvaged trucks and SUV's.
603:, with its cast iron block, results in spectacular power-to-weight ratios for straight-line acceleration. If the Ford 302 is fitted with aluminium heads, intake, and water pump, the resulting engine only adds about 40 lb (18 kg) to the front of an MGB, and is substantially more powerful and lighter-weight than the iron-block six-cylinder found in an MGC or TR6. An aluminium 302 performance block is available that weighs 60 lb (27 kg) less than the common iron version, and can be found in displacements of 331 and 347 ci, but those are significantly more expensive than using the common 302 internals.

The non-SC flywheel, clutch, a C56-type transaxle, and axles can all be directly fitted to the SC engine with no modifications, making conversions less of a hassle. FWD variants are able to be converted into RWD configurations and is also one of the common swaps for the Morris Minor, coupled with a Toyota T50 5-speed manual gearbox.

flame propagation, which was one of several reasons for its demise, due to poor emissions (newer versions use two spark plugs per cylinder). Homologation rules required a certain number of engines to be sold to the public for it to qualify as a "stock" engine option (500 units in 1969, 2000 units in 1970) and the Hemi was unable to pass the increasingly stringent emissions laws. High insurance rates and poor fuel economy also contributed to its lack of popularity in sales to the public.
