redneck racer

Well ive decided to bring my fox back to life, doing the body work and paint myself and also the interrior.... thats about where im lost. I have around 2500-3000 bucks to put into a motor for it. Ide like to run around 350-400 hp NA and probably a carb setup. Now i do have experience putting 302's together, but ive never ordered parts or had to pick parts for a build... and theres so many with so many numbers im just afraid to buy something and find out it wont work with the other thing i purchased. The car will be a strip/show car, im not looking for a 1000hp beast, but a 350-400hp fox will be somthing fun for me. Anyways any srious engine builders out there with some pointers or a recomended build sheet i can follow would be amazing. I would love to use my 302 i currently have, but probably could pick up a 351 for a decent price. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to do almost the same with mine. I decided to go the 331 stroker way. TFS intake/heads. But my old set-up was 302 bored .30 over, then just Victor intake and GT 40 heads. idk how much that set up would make but from what I heard it'd prolly make CLOSE to what you want? maybe lil less. not sure if this helps as im more of a body/paint man myself. but Goodluck and get pics up once its done!

supercharger. if you have the money for it. a good set of aluminum heads and a good cam. most of the power is made in the heads.
