what to do... 289,302, or 351

66 Racer · 09-02-2001, 06:29 PM

Like most guys here, im power hungry and the 351 im sure would be what i want. The thing is that i dont have any way of getting the engine out. I dont know anyone with one either, so most likly Im going to have to take it to a shop to get it done. Labor im sure is going to be a bi+ch and this would have been a project i would have like to get done myself, Im gonna see if i can meet the right people out here where i just moved, I have never done an engine pull so i would need some help. Either way, i have like 4 months to get all this figured out. By then i'll have the $$$ and hopefully someone that can help me out.

About purchasing a 351, i think going new is what i would want, and the only place i have seen selling them is Mustang+ and they have it for like $5,000. It sounds good, but is there anywhere else that has it at a better price, or sells them more beefed up as a crate engine?

Thanks guys
