well, if ur not gonna be revving the sh*t out of it you can go 347. if u really want power look into a 351W based engine. you can go up to 427 with that block. and yes, you can go EFI with that. but if ur on a budget carbed will give you the gas and air flow you need for a much lower price.

just go with a 351 with maybe 30 over some flat top pistons fly cut ,alum heads and you can inject it for about the same cost...use a 30# injectors..can do some trading with your old stuff on new stuff...

RE: bulding new engine please help
despite everyone saying get a 351, i think im gonna build a 331 stroker motor, i found that the 351 would be harder to put in my 95 gt, so since i feel like doing a little less work and after talking to my dad i think im gonna buy a 302 block and bore it into a 331. thanks for the input
