Big Big Question..

DemonGT · 03-13-2001, 10:23 PM

this is the question that will determin what i do next to my car and where my money goes...

ok here goes....should i do stuff to my 302 like heads intake and stuff like that...major mods and just beef up the 302 basicly..or should i just do some minor mods and save my money for a keith craft 331?

if i stay with the 302 there is a possibility that i might in the late late future get a blower..and if i go with the 331 id probubly get it with AFR heads..but i guess there is always the possibility of ALSO geting a blower on the 331 to...just wont to put my woundering to rest..mod the s**t out of the 302 or go with the 331 stroker??

I say go with the 331. That's actually what I'm planning for right now too. I like the 331 for two reasons. One is because it seems like it would have a longer life than the common 347 and almost as much power. Second is because it seems like everybody and their freakin mother has a 347. It offers the option of being just a tad bit different. And if you eventually decide on a blower for the 331 the extra displacement will help KILL a comparable blown 302.
