Re: $3,000 to spend
Sound's like you want more power. But have you thought about upgrading the suspension or brakes. 3k will do a really nice baer brake set up and rims and tires.

Re: $3,000 to spend
Go with the 331 with the afr185's.
No doubt.

Re: $3,000 to spend
HUGE question guys!!!
I have purchased the afr 185's w/ 1.6 ford RR's and a set of 24 lb injectors. Should I get a 331 stroker or an 89 Short Block 351W Hone Decked Balanced New 0.60 Keith Black 10/1 Pistons New Freeze Plugs New Cam Bearings New Rod Bearings New Main Bearings Includes New Complete Full Gasket Set The Stroker will leave me just enough for a custom grind. The 351 will leave me enough for the grind and some extra suspension goodies. What's the better block. Remember, daily driven...25 mile round trip daily on 3.73's

Re: $3,000 to spend
I would still go 331.
with the 351 you need. A new intake manifold headers distributor oil pan etc... So it really would not be cheaper.

Re: $3,000 to spend
The 331 is a great choice. I would do 331 over the 351, the 351 is beefier, but your gunna pay for it in weight. So there is always a trade-off, but the 331 would be a excellent base for the future mods you might want to have.
