well ive got 5 grand to work with.

what would you guys do?

2 kwik

I would buy a 351 block and start your build over the winter while enjoying the car now..like I said you could always start the suspension mods....alot of 12.95-13.20 on a stock engine with suspension mods

kweb288

ya i agree with 2 Kwik, do your suspension first! i started doing the engine on my last car and as much fun that was it sucked cause all i did was sit there all day long spinning the tieres

400 rwhp on stock block is all i would go to be safe, 450 is about max.
i would say 331 or 347. 347 gives you roughly 20 more hp and more tq.

If you have 5k, i would do exactly what kwik said. I wouldnt bother building or stroking the 302. Build a 351 block and like kwick said keep driving your car untill you have the 351 built. With a 351 you can stroke to 408 ci. 302 only 347. The price would be roughly the same, plus you would have a stronger block to handle more power. I love my 351 block.

i would start with a hci something like a holley or tf add gears (3.55 or 3.73) first then make some suspension mods such as control arms, k-member, springs to handle the power, then go to brakes the sn95 body has pretty decent brakes stock but at this point i would upgrade then i would look at getting a procharger. just my 2cents

power isn't always everything, put a set of 3.73 posi in the rear, edelbrock high rise intake, fuel pressure regulator,a holley 650 4 bbl carb, hedman headers, straight X pipe wit no cats, flowmaster 40 series mufflers, gt-40x heades, and a large camshaft andyou should be around 325 to 350 hp.

i kinda agree to... while i didnt do it with mine... i have a h/c/i with a D-1 in the double digit boost area with stock suspension lol... but when i get suspension mods ill drop 1-2 seconds in the 1/4 if i drive the thing good that is....

if u want 400 hp its pretty easy... nice 347 with a h/c/i will get you 400rwhp no problem.... thats about a 5k job if u do it rite and ull pretty much be all done on hp.. a nice shot of nitrous for hte track mayb... if u dont want to stroke it and u dont want giggle gas then my other suggestion would be a mild h/c/i on you 302 with a vortech or procharger(you wont have enough money left for a paxton thats hte only reason i dont metion them) you probably end up with a vortech cuz ATI isnt cheap either.... so a vortech on 10psi with a mild h/c/i will get u 400rwhp no problem... u could also do a very basic gt-40 swap and explorer intake swap... dont but ne cash into just get it off an explorer then get a steeda #19 that will keep the h/c/i really cheap... like 1000 bucks'ish then get a nice intercooler procharger and run 12psi or so.. i would suggestion planing this way tho... only account for 4000 bucks in you starting plans cuz ill end up spending another 1000 on stuff u forgot trust me you will.... u can throw 400hp stuff at you all day... we can suggestion a slit engine modding with suspension work... but really what do you want and with what u want will tell you how to get there.. mean i wanted a blower but i wanted 500rwhp so i needed help with a h/c/i... also keep in mind support upgrades u will need... they normally cost as much as the actually power mod

lol the sticker is worth 50 haha... the filter is actually only worth like 5 or so but the remove of the silencer is what gets u a good amount of hp....

you not give enough credit justin... its 100X better lol
