![]() I have debated a long time on what to run in this car, my 302 is mild and just does not have the power off the line I would like..and since I like my automatic, mine is harder to launch then the guys with the standards. I have a 79 351 sitting in my shed (given to me). So here was the combo i decided on....kinda want everyone else's oipinion if you got time....especially if u run a 351W.
The car right now is a 74 302 (dished pistons---they suck for compressioin)--AOD, bauman shift kit (this rocks), and 4.10 posi in the rear. I have the mallery unilite dist (had problems with it in the past) and the pro master coil box by mallery. performer 289 edlebrock intake, with a holley 600. I put a set of 1970 289-302 heads (58cc chambers) on it with 1.90-1.60 valves in them. Crane roller rockers and a decent crane cam. Full length headers, custom bent, 2 1/4 exhaust. I also completely restored the car. All original cali car, so I am not extremely interested in a screamer. But the comb I just described I bet would barely put up mid to high 14 second quarters (that may be wishfull thinking). I am going to swap the 351w in with an edlebrock rpm, better carb, forged flat top pistons, good cam, and pocket port the heads on my 302, drill them for the 351, and swap them on. Probably pay a little money for a Precision Industry stahl conv. Am i dreaming, or will the old girl be able to break into the 13's in the quarter. All ur opinions are apreciated, I hat e to spend money and be dissappointed with the results. Ryan
