i am considering buying a new motor for my stang. mine leaks a lot of oil from the rear main seal i think. I was looking at the 302 gt 40's. Some say they have about 270 hp for 2800 and others are 3200 for 345 hp! is this stupid to do, or should i buy heads and a cam shaft ? how much faster would it be with the new motors? I have a person who can install a motor for 450 is that good? please help, i am looking to do something very soon. i plan on spending about 3 grand!
