nah 351 have there limits just like anyother engineoh yeah.....i'm not saying they're spectacular or anything. just figuring if you do a swap.........a 351 will have more potential in the long run than a 302....and way more potential than the 3.8 he's talking about.

302 aftermarket is HUGE....
Run a 347 if it's a drag car, 331 if it'd get a bunch of use. Then have endless choices for heads, intakes, off the shelf cams.....either way, you guys make me laugh. Pete Campbell just FINALLY gernaded his 460HP 4.2L stock block in his mustang (mind you a very similar V6 to the 3.8L), and is blaming it on fuel issues (data logger showing him going way lean at the top end before it blew).
This is simply with a powerdyne blower and a 25hp shot of Nitrous for ACT cooling (and probably a head/cam package)...
runs 11.3, looking for 10s after he rebuilds the 4.2L with stock parts (he wants to see how far he can take a stock block)
there's NO sense in putting a 351W in the car "and making 700hp" for the street. Hell, you'd have a hard enough time hooking up that 460rwhp in a street driven car...
not to mention, the 4.2L motor would run off stock electronics...the 302/351....well that'd be interesting. Transmission, I think, would mate up (I believe MDs car is a 5 speed..)...not positive. Everything else would have to come from a 94-95 GT.

do you realize that about 95% of that stuff works on the 351?why would I run an expensive 347 stroker, when I could build a less expensive 351 and get similar power figures? or better yet........i could build a 351 stroker for the same cost as a 347
read what some of these guys are doing.......and tell me the 351 doesn't have better potential.

NO know one has ever heard of a carb Ya jackass -
"ever hear of a carb".....why are we all still trying to step back in time? There is probably a reason your the only one in your neighborhood who can rebuild one....

i was just suggesting a low cost alternative to running fuel injection. not everyone can afford fuel injection on a custom setup. ya gotta start somewhere.
