soooooooooooo
i need help deciding which way to go for my new engine.
i know the classic "no replacement for displacement" viewpoint, but i also cant pass up the benefits of a quick revving 331.

i had a 357W in my car for a little bit (pretty nasty build too), but decided it was a good engine for my FFR 33 Hot Rod since it was such a top end motor (2100lb car + lots of low end torque = BAD IDEA).

both would be solid roller engines with a 6500rpm shift point so that would stay constant.

i went to MASS FLO so worrying about the computer isnt a concern for me.

anyone with a 351W swap have anything bad to say about handling? i never got to open mine up one back roads, just on the highway a few times but didnt notice a difference really.

so basically lighter weight 331 and a little more space under the hood...

or just fill it up with 408 cubic inches of Ford muscle?

thanks guys.

Go with the cubes....408 ftw!

No replacement for displacement but a blower comes mighty close. 408

omg, you are not seriously considering spending 3000 on that mass flo bull****, are you???

already did, but not 3000 (more like 1500). it seemed to work fine when the 357W was in, ran clean didnt hicup, all i had to do was set my timing.
anything i need to know about? (no being sarcastic, if i need it out i wanna know ASAP).
anything better out there for computers (FAST, etc).

there really wasnt any need to waste all that money. The ford EEC-IV system is one of the best EFI computer systems available when it comes to versatility.

scrap any idea of a 331, should be 347 or 408, I'd do a 347 if budget were a concern

all is not lost...
i still have the stock EEC-IV and everything that goes with it (and other than the fact that its all out it SHOULD be all there).
just put that back in and work from there?

i think ill use the mass flo for the FFR whenever i get around to building it...


the fiance just came home and announced that we are expecting...
so projects go on hold for a bit now...

anyways, let me know about the EEC-IV and hopefully it will work for that big of a motor? i just dont know about the persnickety 94/95 computers (i could be completely wrong too, i never went there besides bolt ons and a cam).
