I'm having my 66 Coupe, 289, 4v, auto, pony interior car restored. I'm considering my options for an engine. A stroker 302 (347) or a stroker 351W. What are the pros-cons of going with the 351W?
If I did the 351W stroker, I'd probably keep it under 400ci, around 383ci, or so. Mostly, I'm concerned with handling. Will the added weight be an issue even if I go with alumunum heads, to keep weight down? What heads would you recommend with the 351W? Will the frame handle the extra torque from this engine? Mileage?
My goal is for a nice drive with a good bump in power. Not a daily driver but definately to be driven.
