I'll be half-serious with this one: do a Clevor. Trick Flow just recently came out with some cool Clevor stuff.

Lol, I'm fairly sure most new Kenne Bells have more displacement than the whole 4 cylinder.

Trick Flow just came out with a bunch of Cleveland junk including a EFI "R" intake that will work with their Cleveland heads on top of a Windsor short block with a conventional fuel rail. Sweetness.

You can always go turbo...Just sayin. But really I would say 351w all the way. I am already bored with my junk and am in the mindset that if I had done a 351 instead of the 302 I would be less bored and more happy.

Will a run of the mill freshened up T5 hold up fine to a cam/intake 5.8? Not going to be power shifting left and right, but not always granny shifting either. lol

That should be fine for me seeing how I have no plans for boost of nitrous.

Dont know what ur budget is but ur gonna need a bigger hood. may as well figure that in. Love my 351. Had 306 gt40 setup that was a **** load of fun too. It was a lot cheaper and ran 12.60's in a 2700 pound 86 notch.

Is the only problem with 302 L/Ts on a 351 is that the angle isn't right for them to bolt up to a mid pipe? As long as they don't hit anything then I could save money and just slightly modify a midpipe of even add to the collector a little bit however if it is way off I am not going to hack **** up to save a hundred or two.
