The Saleen H302 3V is a nice step up from the S281 3V. You get 55/45 more HP/Torque. The engine is upgraded to a 5.0L 302cid. Whats this? Is this the infamous H.O. motor from the 80’s and 90’s? Not even close. This is the modular bad-boy that has come to gain large popularity. All the internals are forged to give strength to the engine. It’s nice to know this baby can handle just about anything you want to add to it for more HP if that’s your plan.
The Saleen H302 3V also upgrades you to a Light-Weight Aluminum Flywheel and aluminum radiator as standard equipment. Front brakes are upgraded to a 14″ rotor w/4-piston calipers. You also get alot of Saleen Heritage 1969 and 1970 styling with this car as well as some classic paint scheme options.
This is definitely a great all-around saleen to own and enjoy. Below is the complete list of components for this Saleen Mustang.
