Hey all,
I'm sure there are a lot of guys in this boat on this forum who have a 302 right now but are planning on a 351w stroker later on. My goal is to not spend a dime on anything that doesn't have to do with my final plan for a 408w. I'd like to get some more speed out of the 302 but take the parts to the 351w/408. There's nothing wrong with the 100k 302-2v, purrs like a kitten with a very slight hairball, but it don't sound tough or go like a musclecar.
So, the question would be, of the following upgrades, what could I take with me to the 408? Any other ideas?
-Headers and exhaust
-Intake mods (I eventually want fuel injection)
-ignition, cooling, etc.
I'm looking for bang for the buck, instant gratification type things. If nothing else maybe I'll just end up getting some dryer vent hose and running my own cold air intake from the snorkel.
I've got the patience to want to do everything right the first time while keeping it driveable as much as possible but some excitement wouldn't hurt.
Thanks,
Joe
