Hmm. i plan on building the motor myself and maybe several thousand; i plan on doing the build in stages. i already have performer heads so i am focusing on the shortblock right now. I have found stroker kits that are cheaper than building another 351. are the strokers worth it if i plan to force induct later on?

you have 351s saleen? speedster?

Its a 95 S351. unfortunately its N/A but hopefully wont always stay that way

Na i wish it was a speedster but i guess having hard top is safer and saves weight right...

unfortunately... i sometimes wish it wasnt. when i want to mod it i have to piece stuff together. its a 1st gen lightening bottom end with edelbrock heads, a 95 corba r intake, and 95 5.0 mustang everything else. it can be a serious pain trying to find parts that fit.

I can understand that..

I would rebuild the motor to as close as stock specs as you could get it and stick it somewhere safe.. then of course toss a 408 in the car and have some fun

+2! Build it again as a 351... or stroke that baby! don't even think about going with less cubes then what's already in there... oh and since you're a newbie and (i'm surprised this hasn't been put up yet...)

They are, but seeing as it broke... might as well make it better.

build it like the supercharged virsion, better yet put on a sts turbo system on it

I don't know the little Mustang (06) around me runs very good, you drive it around a little bit and you get fearless, he has that kit and a ton of steeda handling goodies. I hate to say it but it is one of the most fun Mustangs I have ever driven
