With your goal range, a 302 would probably be all you need. But......I would bet once you start playing with these things.....your going to want more.

If you realistically think 330 is your top goal, go with the 331 or 347. Throw in a set of good aluminum heads...and have fun trashing the tires. This option will allow you the ability to grow in the future should you decide.

For what you want (330HP) I'd go with the 331. Stay away from the 347, they absolutely SCREAM, but are short lived. The 331 is much more reliable, and will last longer. GOOD heads/cam/intake, and you're there bro! Actually, with a good combo like that, if you want 330 HP ya might have to yank off a spark plug wire or two.

Yeah i dont really want much more than 350hp as i plan on making my stang a daily driver. Can you guys hit me up with a link or place where i can buy the 330 Kit?. I tell you tough when i get my stang now i just grin before i even start because is a totally different experience. Well you guys have been alot of help thanks alot and expect me to ask a wholote lot of more dumb questions in the future
