How does an Old School Carbed 351W compare to a 302 Roller EFI when it comes to making "CHEAP" HP/TQ ??

I'd say it cheaper to buildup a carb'd engine, intakes are cheaper... add a better carb, cam, heads, +49 more CI.

EFI on the other hand, buy MAF, Injectors, Chip, Throttle body, a more expensive intake, heads, cam. Boost is a bit easier to come by though.

Meh, just my opinion on it... I'm biased though since I'm ditching EFI next year.

My guess would be that the roller 351W are the same years they made roller 302's since they're both windsor motors.

It all depends on the setup. It's that simple.

Roger that folks. Thanks for the input.

Well, I've accumulate most off the 302 EFI parts already. I'll be dropping a built engine into my 89 5.0LX Vert.

So far I have the following Hi-Po parts sitting around.....

- Thumper heads (gonna use on either a 302 or 351)
- 65mm TB/EGR Spacer
- Typhoon EFI Intake
- B303 Cam
- 73mm C&L MAF 19lb cal
- SuperChip 19lb cal

Then again, I could easily sell all the above and get 351W Carb stuff instead.

BTW, I just read over on FTE that 351W where made from 92-96.
