|  The whole idea of this is to do it in stages. First off find a good running 460 and c6 and just work on getting that in and running. Then i can start buying parts and put them on the 460. And once everything else is done buy the stroker kit and crank up the cubes.

| Why don't you just find a 302 from the junkyard and stick in there, that way you can at least drive it and then find your 460 and C-6 and slowly build that up to the way you want it. I agree with other people on here though. I would build a 351w based motor becuse of the available aftermarket parts and less cost to build than a big block. You will be able to make, as much, if not more power than a 514 with the same amount of money you have to spend. If you really want a torque monster, then how about building a 351c. If you don't care how long the project takes or how much money it takes then go for the 514. Sit down and make a parts list for all your options and then decide which engine would be better for you to build for the amount of cash you have or lack there of. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you keep all the original parts from that '82GT of yours or you will regret it later on...especially that hood!

This is my best friends car it has a Performer RPM intake, 750 Carb and the air cleaner element seals against the bottom of the scoop no need for a lid This hood is currently on my car with a stock intake..

| go with the big block... I was going to go with the 514, but the 557 stroker kit isnt much more... big blocks AREN'T more expensive, the stock 460 2 bolt block will handle 600-650HP.. you can make good HP with a set of factory iron heads.. or you can use the e'brocks.. they arent that much $$ really .. couple places to check out.. http://fordifiedracing.homestead.com/bigblockfox.html http://www.network54.com/Forum/85220

| ram air off the subject, but coupedevil, did you say you have your set up as a functional ram air of sorts? No lid on the air cleaner? can you go in to detail on this and maybe post some pics of this? Thanks Go with the big block.....be very cool....more money possibly for the parts, but more gain from each one also. Ryan
