I'll explain for him. The reason a 351 is better than a 351 stroked to a 408 is because i dont have one. I'll have to settle for my 351 bored .060 over for now.

i had a rebuilt 408 in my 85' , after about 3,000 miles it seemed to lose a huge amount of power, the 351 in it right now seems to run strong with 40,000 miles on it, i just dont preffer the 408, but ill stay with my supercharged 306 for right now

i belive im going to go 347 becuz every thing is set up for one, and i have some much money in 302 parts , blocks can be found all over , and its lighter. Not saying that i dont wanttogo 408w tho, lol, and i dont belive the 351 swap is as easy as evey one *how has not done one* says it.

Isthe Tq of a 347 is about the same of a 408w

and i dont need much more that 450hp to the wheels for street/strip .
