$3,000 to spend
Guys, I need some suggestions.
I have $3,000 to spend and want some advice on what to get. I was going to dish out a little extra and get a kenne bell 2.2 blowzilla, but then I would have to worry about traction,tranny, and fuel system upgrades. Then I was thinking of a centrigual s/c and a rebuilt short block stroked to 331, knowing I will have to upgrade the fuel system. Then I was considering and rebuilt stroked 331 with afr 185's. Any ideas on what I should get for my $$$. BTW, I want to keep her a daily driver. |

Re: $3,000 to spend
Sound's like you want more power. But have you thought about upgrading the suspension or brakes. 3k will do a really nice baer brake set up and rims and tires. :D

Go with the 331 with the afr185's.
No doubt. :D |
Re: $3,000 to spend
HUGE question guys!!!
I have purchased the afr 185's w/ 1.6 ford RR's and a set of 24 lb injectors. Should I get a 331 stroker or an 89 Short Block 351W Hone Decked Balanced New 0.60 Keith Black 10/1 Pistons New Freeze Plugs New Cam Bearings New Rod Bearings New Main Bearings Includes New Complete Full Gasket Set The Stroker will leave me just enough for a custom grind. The 351 will leave me enough for the grind and some extra suspension goodies. What's the better block. Remember, daily driven...25 mile round trip daily on 3.73's |
Re: $3,000 to spend
I would still go 331.
with the 351 you need. A new intake manifold headers distributor oil pan etc... So it really would not be cheaper. ;) |
Re: $3,000 to spend
The 331 is a great choice. I would do 331 over the 351, the 351 is beefier, but your gunna pay for it in weight. So there is always a trade-off, but the 331 would be a excellent base for the future mods you might want to have.

Re: $3,000 to spend
Oh yeah guys, the 351 is already bored out to 362. I'm kind of leaning towards it.

Re: $3,000 to spend
Bringing this thread back from the dead. I picked up the 362 and have finally started the build...I'm waiting on an adjustable pushrod to get the correct length. Plenty of goodies going into her. What kind of hp do you all think something like this will pull?
