RE: Newbie Needing Help!!!!!!!

I have seen the light! R.barn helped me out a great deal on where to get the block and switch kit. It really does make sense to get the 351w since I am pretty sure that I can get most of the other parts a lot cheaper than what they would cost normally.

there are people in here making 400+rwhp with boost or spray
on stock bottom ends.
tell'n ya, just get a new stock 351W short block, it was made from the factory
to take 400hp easy and they are dirt cheap compared to forged/stroked 302's
you'll get the 325rwhp you want from the start and could easily push 400rwhp with
a mild 75 shot of nitrous later.
and it shouldnt cost you much more than what you have already laid out.

Yeah, I have been debating on doing the installation myself with the help of my dad. The main thing is that I wanted to know if the jump to the 306 would be worth the price for the return gain of rwhp and the ability to spray the motor at a later date.

Ok, so including all of the parts on your horsepower wish list and the cost for the block and rotating assembly, how much moola are we looking at here. I want to do the 351 swap this winter and next summer Ill worry about upgrading it. If you could, break the list down into the cost for each part that would be great, because this is very intersting.

RE: Newbie Needing Help!!!!!!!
with the money that you are talking about spending....i would look into a vortech supercharger setup.....that way you still have a daily driver with a bunch of throttle just waiting to be planted.....
what ever you do stay away from powerdyne.....yea they are cheaper BUT you get what you pay for.....i have ran both powerdyne and vortech......and vortech is hands down the better charger.....
that is my opinion.......
and as far as the labor for building and installing that other motor.......ummmmmm where do you live and do i need my own tools.????
