Default Re: 1967 What do to with my engine

If the 351c is operational in the car now....I think u r better off running that engine. Not many people do it anymore yes, but does it build power....yes. Your 351 with minimal performance parts is gonna outrun my 302 with decent performance parts. What is more importnat too you is the question. Money or power? What is your goal for it in the next 5 years?

sorry, just reread my post and rwhite65's, i didnt mean the 351c wont make any power, but if your looking to build a hot street motor, youd be better off going with a windsor, or another thing would be to get 4v heads and intake for your 351c. Those pieces can add up to be preaty pricy vs aftermarket aluminum windsors, but it all depends on what your final goal is, a reliable daily driver with good torque (rebuild the 351c), or if you want a built motor turning 7k RPMS go with a 302

The decision ended up being out of my hands anyway. Machine shop called yesterday and told me they found a hairline crack in the block and that a rebuild was not an option. Also found out that it had been machined before and the boreing (sp?) was already almost too far. But thank you all for your advice! I really appreciate it.
