347 vs 351

Stang_ROTY · 05-30-2001, 11:31 AM

The bottom line is....what type of bucks you have will dictate what you get. The 351W will need a hood, a distributor (don't know about used ones...I bought the MSD) and a new lower EFI manifold if your going EFI. In my opinion, the 351W was the right decision for me because I bought my car with no motor or tranny. You have to decide what your budget will allow you to do. If money is no object than go with the 351 stroker and you'll be happy. You can get more HP and torque at a lower rpm than a smaller 302 or 347. Plus, the main caps are stronger than production 302's.
