I'm planning on putting new motor in this summer and had it narrowed down to 2 choices:
Keith Craft or Smedding 347
But was looking at Ford Racing 342 and just got off the phone with the tech guys and they are estimating it at 375HP and 400lbs torque.
Torque about same as Keith Craft and Smedding - less HP (25 to 50hp).
I know with the Ford Racing I need to swap out water pump - but have a polished Weind on current 302 - so not that big of deal. Will also need to swap out pan and put carb on but could put in Canton and still be $1500 cheaper than Keith Craft of Smedding.
Looking for a streetable weekend driver that I can take to strip - once in a great while. Don't have the the time to build my own. Since I'm going to be keeping the car as far as I can see out - don't mind spending a little more on quality but within reason.
What do you guys think?
