Default What Engine?

I'm looking at this 1993 LX with a blown engine. I was wondering what engine I should put in there since I will have to replace the engine anyways? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.<IMG src=smileys/smiley15.gif border="0">

if your gonna go with a windsor, dont get a 347, a 331 is alot more streetable. but modular motors are bad *** in foxbody.

Ya they are both streetable. A 347 with give a little bit more torque but the 331 does not burn as much oil. "as i'm told"

haha dude thatsso lame...putting a big block in your car and running that low ofhp...all that unneccasary weight when you could get 400hp out of any small block no problem. and do a little research if you dont believe me, a 331 is a better engine than a 347. im not just trying to make something up here</P>
