351 Rebuild Q's

[Mustang90GT50]

I was going to rebuild the 351 in the stang. The block is a 69 and I was wondering who I should go through. I was looking into a few right now; Kuntz & Co, Coast High, Keith Craft, and Bennet. I need to get the block maganfluxed before I do anything but I know it will be a stroker and have some boost to it. I am considering ordering a short block instead of a kit. Who do you reccommend?

Hmmm 408 with a T88

Somers Machine

Best local engine builder hands down.

Where are they located at? Do you think it would be comparable in price to the other listed?

They are in Vancouver, off Minihaha

Comparable? Probably less considering he is local and shipping is $$$
He is definately not cheap. He wont let you half-a$$ a motor. If you dont do it right, he wont do it. If you spend the bucks, you will have a killer motor. You would have to call him for a quote, but get your ideas together first. He built the motor in Vulcans twin turbo Camaro, Lar's Camaro, Black93fox's stang, and our Red Turbo car thats going together.

Alright thanks for the info, I wasn't looking forward for the shipping bill if I did do it that way. Maybe I will stop by some time and talk to you guys about engine parts. I am kind of new ot the whole engine building thing.

Ditch that weak 351 and put in a 2JZ-GTE, if you want to go fast. If you just want to make a bunch of noise, the 351 is good at that. I knew a guy that just sold a foxbody with a supercharged 351 in it, nice car, but DAMN, the guy that owned it was good looking.

Yeah what he needs to go fast is to put a 2.6L 6 banger skyline motor in it lol

HAHAHA, I think I would get shot if I put an import engine in a Mustang. It seems that its ok to put a domestic engine in an import, but never the other way around. Why is that????

Torque is the answer.

Its ok to GAIN torque, just not to LOOSE it

You can thank the people making F&F 3 for starting the next big revolution, import motors in muscle cars. If you dont know what im talking about, there are spy shots from the movie with a 67 fastback with a rb26det(Skyline straight six) motor in it
