I think I'm having battery problems though since the car doesn't want to start

Would a 5.0 302 be good to swap into my 79?

uhHollow · May 22, 2016

I found a 351w but idk if I should get that or the 302

RaggedGT · May 22, 2016

either would be a great swap

uhHollow · May 23, 2016

They're asking around $3,000 for the 302 and $2,800 for the 351w

A5literMan · May 23, 2016

Go 351. It will give you plenty of power as is and give you a base to grow into. The 351 block can withstand a lot more power/abuse. Either will work but I'd jump into the 351.

Just remember you're going to have to upgrade the entire car from cooling,brakes,suspension,trans-rearend,etc. some of the existing parts may work for the time being(rearend,brakes,etc) but you will need to upgrade for durability etc.

Change the polling question. 351 is a no brainer to me.

GOBS of horsepower there just waiting to be uncovered.

It's been a while since I posted but I decided that I want to do the 351w with a tko500

That's a fairly mild combo that should deliver some fun street time. I'd rather have better heads(tfs or AFR) but Edelbrock makes ok stuff(as long as it's not the e streets). Good luck on your project.

s351 · Sep 7, 2016

that will be a fun combo. How much did he quote you for the long block?

Do you think a whipple supercharger would be a good idea?

Whipple doesn't make a supercharger for Ford OHV Windsors.

What would be the best supercharger to go with the 351w then?

@TOOLOW91 can you make a recommendation

For the money, it's pretty tough to beat a Vortech T-Trim, or a Paxton Novi 2000.

You're going to want a good top end and fuel system to support a supercharger though. High flow aluminum heads, healthy cam and intake mandatory. So count on spending more than the $2,899 quoted in that price.

If you want neck breaking torque for the street that is capable of way more than you'll need....build a stroker 351(408)with good heads. If done properly you'll have 500+hp and torque. It will run on pump gas all day in traffic,at the track, and anywhere in between. Check out Fordstrokers.com for a turn key option. There are other places you can look also but Jim's reputation is superior than most.

Soooo many options and ways of achieving those final numbers....so little time and money.

expect to spend around $10k when all is said and done.

Agreed. Just imagine what the 351-blower route will cost. 12k? Jim did have a carb motor option that was going for around 8k last year. Don't know if he still offers that or not. I know he's not doing any stock production 8.2 motors anymore. Have to go dart block for those.

Should I swap the motor or work on the v6?
