im gettin ready to build up my 88 notch and im wondering what motor i should go with. at the moment i have a 351c shortblock chillin in my garage. it was just rebuilt. nothin really performance wise except for a decent cam. heres what i was thinking about:

1. 302
2. 351c with Boss 351 heads
3. 460

I can get a 302 anywhere and i already have the 351 bottom end but a 460 sure would look nice under that hood. Im gonna be lookin around for a 460 block and if i cant get one for a decent price then I'll probly go wit the 351. what do u think?

unfortunately my camera only takes vid with no sound, I'll get some this summer. Trust me, its wicked, it even scares me sometimes. Its a racecar that i drive on the street all weekend and to car shows lol, nobody around here has anything like it either, that was the whole point of doing the swap And whats nice about big blocks is that stock block and most of the stock parts will hold up to 800+ hp with no problems, try that with a stock 302 or 351 and drive it everywhere.
