Engine options.

shadowgames81 · September 4th, 2007, 10:30 PM

I wanna upgrade my engine but not to sure what I should go w. I was thinking of just using a 351w but now I wonder if I'm gonna spend the money should I go w/ a better 302 or 351w, 400, 460? I could get a hold of all these but not sure what would be the best bang for my buck. I have a stock 302 w/ roughly 550hp and I want to have round 600+ street driven. Any ideas?

Iownastang · September 4th, 2007, 10:33 PM

460 bored and stroked...aluminum heads...big custom cam, good intake and carburator..600hp easy..

Iownastang · September 4th, 2007, 10:42 PM

its heavy but sooooooooooooooo easy to make power with.

shadowgames81 · September 4th, 2007, 10:42 PM

money still a big factor. I don't mind spending the money on it but not looking for 15,000 or nothin.

shadowgames81 · September 4th, 2007, 10:43 PM

thought most people said aftermarket was small for that block

Speedstang302 · September 4th, 2007, 10:49 PM

its not huge..but stuff like heads and intake, are easy to get, carb well..fits any..and cam, go custom..not hard to find a custom cam, just hard to find someone good..i think theres a guy name ed curtis or something like that..ask around to ppl like darrel..they know who to find..and they make alot of fox460 swap parts..

shadowgames81 · September 4th, 2007, 10:49 PM

Is a 460 the best choice? What about hood clearance etc?

Iownastang · September 4th, 2007, 10:52 PM

Iownastang · September 4th, 2007, 11:01 PM

shadowgames81 · September 4th, 2007, 11:03 PM

right....so is it possible to drop one in w/ 2.5" clearance? Just want to build the best motor I can around 8g w/ 600+ and could be regularly drivin. any ideas?

Iownastang · September 4th, 2007, 11:08 PM

YOU CAN BUILD THE HELL OUT OF A 460 NO WAIT 514 STROKER WITH 8 G'S,I THINK THAT YOU WILL NEED TO CUT A HOLE IN THE HOOD BUT I WILL WORK SOMEHOW THEY SAID 2.5 INCH HOOD THEY SAID NOTHING ABOUT A HOLE CUT IN THE HOOD FOR THE MOTOR.
