that and a 5.0 and 5.8 are BOTH small blocks, difference in the cranks and the heads I believe.[:-]

I think it is pretty much unanimous here. 351W is the way to go. if u go to a 460 you also need to look at all the extra weight of a big block sitting in the already front heavy car. oversteer will be horrible

NO. they are similar, but not the same. the 351W has a long deck height,allowing for more rod length and therefore for crank throw.

Also, how much more does the 351W weigh than the 302? Isnt it like 200lb's?
