Default Just getting started!

My name is Caleb and I have been reading you guys forum to see if I could find an answer to a question I have concerning my new restoration project. I own two 69 mustangs, one 302 boss and one grande. They are both in average condition but that is all about to change. I am using the boss's body but I don't know which engine I want to put in it. The grande has a 351 windsor that I am tempted to use because I want a machine that can handle 10 second times, I was told once that there was no substitue for cubic inches? I am new to this and I greatly appreciate any feedback on my engine delima. One is about to go to the machine shop and if you guys would please help me choose. Thanks

Welcome to the forum. A 351 Windsor in a Boss 302 sounds right nice! Got any pics of those cars?

welcome aboard. use the 351, but, keep the Boss engine off to the side, especially if its numbers matching
