thats a list of stuff im thinking of getting so far, im trying to do this for under 2500 or 3000, not including machine work, most these parts are off of summit racing, is there a cheaper place to go? are there better combinations? possibly kits i can get that will have the majority of this stuff? the engine is all original and has never been rebuilt before, and im hopeing the pistons,rods, and heads are still good. id like to go from efi to carbed, im planning to put the engine in a mazda rx7, what other cars will this engine fit in??? any guess of how much hp?

 

What do you ultimately want to do with it? You could build an h/c/i 351 with the stock crank(plenty strong for most street car setups), run some decent rods/pistons that are light weight and make quite a bit of power.

 

it will mostly be a daily driver, but i want power, as much as i can get for as cheap as possible.

 

Cheap, powerful, reliable....pick 2.

 

cheap + reliable, i plan on horse beating the crap out of it

 

define "cheap"

 

under 3000
im trying to fint the balance between cost+reliability+performance, the cheapest most reliable powerhouse

 

I would guess frpp makes a kit or Jegs or Summit to build what you want. Or maybe take a look at the Edelbrock performer RPM kit, I'm not sure what it comes with but it should make pretty goodpower for the street
