I like the 351w. There are additional costs involved, different headers, oil pan, intake. Its not so bad when you start out with a body and have to buy all that stuff anyway like i've done before. I also wouldn't underestimate the power of a 302 stroked to a 347. My last 351W(stock stroke) powered fox body ran 11.18 with a C-6 and a 9" rear. I also keep 351W's in stock for future projects. I see we have so other buckeyes on this post. I am from the Mansfield area.
