    New motor combination suggestions??

    Alright cool, because if it'll be reliable I may decide to go that route...pick up a 351 from a junk yard or something and build it up, just wanted to make sure the block would be strong enough!

    New motor combination suggestions??

    ok cool! I was wondering where the 369 came from so thanks for the explanation. I'm kind of leaning towards the 351 option like you mentioned and maybe bore it out...but anyone know of people that have done it with a stock block or should I start out with an aftermarket block for extra...

    New motor combination suggestions??

    Yes I plan to keep it EFI, I'll be switching to MAF from Speed density at the same time...Thanks for the reply! What's a good place to look at for the 369 block you're talking about? Does it handle well on the low end? What trans do you have?

    HELP me with under the hood upgrades, Indecisive brain!!!

    I don't plan to rev past 6500 since I won't be drag racing much, when you say well matched do you mean ported custom to match? Or would a top end kit that they sell already be "well matched"? I know the MA is calibrated for certain injectors...would 30 lbers be too much? And how do you...

    HELP me with under the hood upgrades, Indecisive brain!!!

    Previous owner of my hatchback did the same exact thing when I was getting my stuff out of my truck (we traded)....haven't started messing with it yet. Have you done anything with yours? How'd it go?
