Default 400 rwhp and reliability

ok ...

now i know that 400hp and reliability might not go hand in hand...

but i'm looking to get 400rwhp our of my 1992 coupe and keep it a good daily driver. think i should go for a n/a 302 build, power added 302 ... or ditch the 302 for a 350 and go from there!?

i also want my car to work well on the twisties (i'll be upgrading to MM suspenision) ....

well, you could put a miata motor in a big rig with some fab work, but that sure as hell don't make it right.

now, the 351w is way more reliable than the 302 if you want to run big numbers. and easy to tune to the bigger numbers. look around and you'll find some more info on these motors and tuneability
