I need to figure out what type of motor I'm going to build. It will be a 302 or 306 or a 331. All will be fuel injected and in the end not right away it will be supercharged. So what cubic inch should I build my motor to. What are the dissavantages and avantges to having more cubic inches?

bigger the better, im in the process of a 331 twin turbo project. the 331 kit usually dont require and block mods.

no replacement for displacement

more cubes means more power... but stoker engine can rev as high as a 302 could... but unless your running 7k u should have to worry... id say a 331 could handle 6.5k rpms.... if u have the cash a 331 is a nice engine.... 347 is better but that requires some block work.... and they can all take a blower... unless you running rediculous boost... but that wouldnt matter a stock blcok would like 20 lbs of boost with it was stroked or not... they always say they is no replacement for displacement.... if u have the xtra cash do a stroker

I want to make the car a daily driver so thats why Im not going 347 if anyone asks.

Since its all going to be the same block and wont weigh any more than the other, do a 331.

Will the AOD be able to handle the 331 or will I need to put in a c4 if I keep it automatic.

Personally, I like the 302 as well, theyll rev faster than the stroker motors. THeyre setup perfectly for revving. I drove 1 stang that spun 10k, craziest sound I ever heard out of a SBF.
