Hello fine people. I've reading the threads for a few hours now and i still can't decide whether to buy a short block or bore out mine and get new internals.
my goal is to have a reliable street machine no track or drag. i would be more than happy if I could come close to the 340HP 306 crate motor FRPP has for sale that's my benchmark.
here is what was already on the car when i bought it and i don't see a reason not to reuse these parts.
-Edelbrock Performer heads part no. 6037
-EDELBROCK/BBK 70MM EGR SPACER
-Edelbrock Performer RPM upper and lower intake
-bbk shorty heads
my local engine shop is charging me $800 for the swap and my budget is 3k total.
I'm getting a E303 cam and Speed Pro Hyperuetectic Pistons.
here is what I'm looking at so far
TREperformance.com - Ford 306 Short Blocks
or maybe this
1979-95 Mustang 5.0L 302 Economy Short Block with Forged Pistons, Accepts Roller Cam at LRS - Same Day Shipping!
any help is much appreciated.
