I have posted my write up on converting a Fox Mustang to a 351w in the 351w section

However, the current version is on my site. See the link in my sig...

a well built 351 will out power a 347 sooooo since u could stroke a 351 to a 408 which is even more power seems like an easy choice.

P.S the 347 is maxed around 450hp. a 351 (im not positive) but was told is good up to 600. Just the block im not talking about the internals.
r you talking to the wheels or hp in general?

was anyone else thinking the "yes" vote button should have said "of course" ????

and yeah a 351 has larger mains on the crank and of course larger main caps.... it IS a stronger block
