Swap,Dont Swap,Engine combo?????

Get a roller 351.Stronger block and theres no replacement for displacement.

the 351 block will give you a good starting number over the 302's. I would personally build up the 302 just to save some weight. it all depends what you're looking for really. that 351 will have some serious torque and will roast tires pretty easily so it may be harder to get that power down. the 302 will be a little more manageable.

I KINDA AGREE WITH ANOTHERSTANGFAN, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. PERSONALLY I WOULD GO WITH A 351W, IF I COULD DO IT OVER AGAIN.

IF YOUR NOT GONNA USE THE 351W BLOCK FOR THE EXTRA HP IT WILL HOLD, THEN DON'T BOTHER. BUT IF YOU WERE GONNA GO FOR 500HP OR MORE THEN I WOULD GO WITH THE 351W.

IF YOU ASK PEOPLE HOW MUCH POWER THE ROLLER 302 BLOCK WILL HOLD YOU'LL HEAR ANYTHING FROM 400HP TO EVEN OVER 500HP. I DONT THINK I'D EVER GO AROUND THE 500HP MARK. IT WOULD BE MUCH SAFER DOING THAT WITH THE 351W.

I'M SURE THERE'S PEOPLE MAKING THIS KIND OF POWER OUT OF THE FACTORY 302ROLLER AND HAS PROBABLY HAD THE ENGINE FOR MANY YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT I WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER WITH THE 351W BLOCK. ESPECIALLY SINCE MAKING THAT KIND OF POWER ISN'T CHEAP AND I DONT HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY.

If your going with the 351w go ahead and plan on buying a new oil pan, headers and dizzy.
