Need advice. Would like to upgrade to 306-351

[302 LX Eric]

I just finished installing my new 331 this weekend. I've also got a new Tremec 3550, King Cobra clutch, Fidanza aluminum flywheel and McLeod steel bellhousing. Next year, the ATI gets ordered. Probably a D-1SC set-up. After that, a set of Baer brakes.

Building up a solid motor (stroker, or otherwise) is not cheap. All the gaskets, head studs, new pan, new pump, girdle, upgrades, bearings, etc. gets expensive. Plus, having the block bored, honed, hot tanked and spin balancing the crank, flywheel and damper isn't cheap either.

You need to decide what the final product is that you're looking for. For me, its a 500 HP Mustang that I can drive on the street and to the track on nice sunny days and just when I get the urge to cruise around in it. It's not a full-on drag car, nor is it a bolt-on car.

If you're really interested in doing a 331 blower motor, send me an email or a PM and I can give you more details.

Good luck with your decision.
