k i found the answer to my own question, i think im gonna run an EFI system if i get the 408, now what about the motor itself, who sells a good stroker kit? also most kits come with pistons, is it best to use their pistons and what ever else it may comewith?

coast high performance is a good company from what i have heard. their site is www.coasthigh.com . the motor mounts are the same. you have to use 408- specific pistons. the kit comes with forged pistons in various compression ratios, so there is no reason to use other ones.

do you know what kind of damper im going to need with this new engine?

mkspeed26

if ur goin with the 351W, you will need a 28 oz sbf balancer

P.S.I.cho

sorry about all the questions but im looking at the kits you gave me, im gonna need the main girdles right?

mkspeed26

depends on how much power ur lookin to make. i would suggest gettin it because its a heck of a lot cheaper than a cracked block, but wont be necessary (dependin on power output) because the 351W can handle a bit more power than the 302.

im suspect im going to be needing a new suspension to accomidate the new weight, since i have the heaviest of all mustangs already, what is a good suspension that can hold this weight

mkspeed26

engine isnt much heavier. you dont need to beef up the suspension. if u converted to manual steer and move the batt to the back you would make up the diff.

go with a 302 stroked out to a 331 or 347 the 351 has a taller deck height so with efi u will need a new cowl induction hood and there is a pretty big weight differance between a 302 and 351, a 331 or 347 will have just as much power if not more then a 351 and most of the acessory brackets will have to be changed if u go with a 351 on a 331 or 347 u can just use ur old ones. well good luck on what ever u do [:@]
