RE: Bought a
sweet bro! glad to see your finally doing something other then cosmetic!
do her right, take it appart, clean it up, and paint it.
gt40's and a cam would do wonders!
porting the gt40's could get expensive for your budget.
good luck!

RE: Bought a
Well i can get more money if i need it... my starter is sh*t on my motor right now, so i have to push start it everywhere i go (by myself... i weigh 140 lbs... its tough) sooo yeah.... if i need more i can get more towards the build, rather than having to bust my a$$ to change the starter for a motor i don't plan on using

if you can scrap the motor, go with a 351, and down the road, turbo it!!

why?? he's on a budget in his case a 351 swap is not the most economical way to go

RE: Bought a
LOL ok ok....351 is my DREAM, but i A can't afford a one OR the gas prices[:@]
I drive like 30 miles in town to get to work [&:] with gas almost $4 a gallon (locally) i can't afford it.
So i'm just doing a mild 302 build for now, till i can afford something else thats nice...
Oh and i make sh*t for money cause im only 17, and work basically minimum wage... ANYWHO!
I'm getting a trickflow cam, edelbrock rpm air gap intake. And i'm shopping around for gt-40 heads (IF ANYBODY HAS ANY FOR CHEAP LET ME KNOW PLEASE!)
This will be my first engine rebuild, and as you can tell im really nervous about messing it up, and i want to get the most power for my money....
Does this sound like a decent set up? or what else should i be looking for?
Oh, another question, what carburater should i run with this setup... the one i have on my current engine blows dick. so i need to find something that will be sufficent for the build, but nothing to serious.
Thanks for all the help and ideas guys. i really appreciate it.
