Just remember. I don't want a stock svo or 302 motor.
It has to be big. and a big 302 is cheaper then a built svo. So I think

But like I said. let me know what your opinions are. I'm open for it all.
I for one like the 351 windsor. You can pull one out of a lot of different vehicles, and wouldn't have to stroke it, you would already have displacement to work with.

I don't know about which engine is best for drifting, but each one will have its pros and cons. A v8 will have more power and torque, but it will also weigh down the front end more so than a 4 cylinder. A turbo four would handle well, but it would have turbo lag. Also, I would think each different bore/stroke combination would have its own driving characteristics i.e. responsiveness and controlability. If you want to find out about each different configuration, I'd ask the 5.0 section, as there will be someone there who has done any and every stroke.
