Thumbs up Very Good Suggestion Tarmon

I like that suggestion there Tarmon,but sometimes "Bigger is Better" get's a lot of people in trouble.

While there is no doubt a 351W or even a stroked 351W is a torque monster,if he were fuel injected he would still make good torque with a 302 or stroked 302,not the same as a 351 but good torque.

If you are looking for suggestions for s rebuild,just do your homework there,look around talk to some good engine builders,and try to match your combo as close as possible.

You having a carburetted car makes it a little easier as far as intakes and the like goes,when it comes time to buy the rest of it.

How much track duty you plan on using with the car is it a 90/10 car? 90 percent street 10 percent strip? That is something you have to decide on also,how radical you want it.

Hitting it with a shot "smack" is not a bad idea just make sure you have good quality components,and build it to where it will run good off the "smack" also,lot of guys build cars to where they only run on the juice,and they compromise a lot.

Good Luck with your combo.
