Is this still going to be your first car? I think you should just bolt a blower or turbo kit onto a 302. More than enough power.

no its not...this is also not going to be a dd. Its going to be basically redone from the ground up. I also considered a turbo dart based 347 but i wanted something different with more potential

........ if i would've stayed 302, i would have definitely went with a 347 stroker with some kind of boost, you'd be making just as much power as a N/A 460. Even if you went with the 460, you'd have to spend more money to get a nice T-56 and bellhousing adapter with really good internals to hold up, otherwise you'd have to go with a built C4 or C6 like me. And having only 3 gears isn't that fun, if i get on the freeway i am at 4500 rpms constantly at around 70mph also because of my 3.73s. Like i said before, you can go find a 460 block at the junkyard and build it up with exactly what you want. I started out with a 1968 block and heads and made it into a very nice streetable hot rod for around $6000 and it took me 3 months to get it all in the car.

Theres only 2 things i really hate about my big block fox, all the damn tire rubber on my rear quarters and people always asking me, how the hell did you fit that monster in there.

Good luck whatever you decide. Later.............

Yes I think I have decided...since this will be my first build up I figured it would be better to stay chaeper (well...a little ) and to deal with something im more familiar with.

Here is basically what my setup will be:

Dart based 347 with 5.4 stroke
Afr 185s or 205s
Custom cam
Eddy intake
Hellion Power Systems Turbo kit upgraded to a T76
All of this **** is going in a notch
BBK lts
dr gas o/r X
idk what cat
not sure about tranny either...6spd or auto?

but that is basically the meat of my setup.... of course I will be redoign the rearend and suspension 2...probably an eaton posi and 31spline mosers...at the moment im thinking 18" saleens with big ass brembo's but I might go with Prostars and minitubs if I think I will have traction issues... I will be looking for at least 700 to the wheels... I will find a way for it to work
