Considering the swap to a 351W - need advice

[302man]

Kev, it were me doing what you are thinking about doing. I would not go 351. Keep the 302 and stroke it to 347 and get a girdle. DSS makes some pretty good stuff. Someother company makes a kit with offset wrist pins so the rings are out of the wrist pin area. Besides the cost of buying and selling parts, the 50lbs added to the front of your car is enough to make me say no right off hand. How fast do you want to go ? Remember, I am doing it with a stock block and a girdle. The problem comes with a bad tune and too many RPMS .
