You might wanna hide all those wires, they are blocking my view of the engine

Turkey Sammich · Jul 10, 2007

This is a weight reduction gone to far....

SMOKEDYA · Jul 10, 2007

Well looks as if you are remolding? If so you GOTTA smooth and fill all holes dont half ass it and just do the wires! Did mine 2 years ago took a month but looked good well till all the flexing cracked alot of the bondo back out So guess here in a few weeks it's out and all over again for next year peace

What happened to your motor Joey ?

See Ya Bill

04MystiCobra · Jul 10, 2007

Is this due to the distributor gear contamination you had a month ago?

Joey5.0 · Jul 10, 2007

Motors old and tired. so i pulled it. its goona sit for awhile. Gonna do tubular stuff while its out.

What brand are you thinking of going with on your k-member.

04MystiCobra · Jul 10, 2007

If you can swing it I'd go 351 stroker. You can do a basic setup cheaper than you think. You dont always have to have the best of everything. You can have an economical setup that works great and lasts.

Right on!

Greg I am actually looking at Lightning Block 351W with Gt-40 heads and intake.

Brand new motor, pan to harness 3700$ with 12000 Mile Warranty.

trying get the the specs on the compression ratio and cam right now because i would like to throw a Vortech on it down the road.

That or going .30over on my stock block with built internals and ARP everthing.

Or a DSS 331.

So many options but i want a good foundation for boost down the road. 351w i hear is pretty strong.

That's about the size of the engine in my new Yaris

I've always wanted to do a 351 swap, trying to keep it under a stock hood...

Joey5.0 · Jul 16, 2007

looks like 351w isnt gonna work. I believe a forged 331 may be the route.

Joey5.0 · Jul 17, 2007

Anyone wanna paint my engine bay or know of anyone that is capable of doing so?

N20Jnky · Jul 17, 2007

Joey:

Why do you say a 351 is not possible??? I just put a 408 stroker into my Foxbody... Took a hell of a lot longer than I anticipated, but works nonetheless... I'm in Snohomish if you want to drop by and see it sometime... As for the engine bay... Are you going to completely finish it by welding all the holes, or are you just looking for some paint on it? If just paint -- as much as I hate to say it -- a rattle can will make it look 100% better... Not sure that I would spend the $$ on painting the bay unless you are going to completely finish it with a weld job and some smoothing...

Good luck with your project and hope to heck it goes quicker than mine did!!!!

Joey5.0 · Jul 17, 2007

I know a 351 is possible i just decided not to go that route. I think im just gonna have the block cleaned out and bored over to a 306. Gonna throw in some new pistons and rings, with some ARP Rod bolts and Maingirdle. Cometic head Gaskets with ARP Head studs. Some AFRs' with a cam and manifold with supporting mods. Kind of on a budget.

Oh come one Now! Atleast share some tips to help me out.

Keep in mind by the time you get your stock crank turned and buy aftermarket rods (it’s cheaper than “fixing” your old rods) to go along with your new pistons it costs about the same as a decent entry level stroker kit.

No reason to go 331 unless you are limited by class racing rules or airflow (but you said afr heads so I don’t think that is the case.

And depending on what you are looking to do a 351 really is a pretty good idea, and doesn’t cost as much as people think.
