Default RE: question about a setup


ORIGINAL: r.barn

+1 on the 351W

the 351 is the engine the 302 shoulda been, they're stronger than a stroked 302 and usually cheaper to build up too.

you also dont have all the block flex that the 302 has probs with, not only causes
the block to crack but is also know for causing head gasket leaking problems too.

If you're starting from scratch the 351W is hands down the way to go.

some links:

also consider a turbo over an s/c, they make a ton more power.
thanx for the links man. these will come in handy.

I think everyone pointed you in the right direction. 351W FTW!
