I'm sure I know what the consensus will be here, but I have a quick scenario to ponder. I have to get my car running relatively soon and have a couple of options, but want some opinions.
I can put my old 190k mile motor back into my car and run it as a stock motor or use my 351. Both engines need a rebuild, but the 302 will run as is, just needs bored/honed, etc (smokes badly). I know, I know, seems like a no-brainer.
Whichever combo I go with, I need a new intake, distributor, carb, throttle cable, a/c delete kit and headers. In addition to these items, if I do the 351, I need all of the extra parts (balancer, flexplate, oil pan and accessories, as well as a set of heads). I am not sure if I will need another hood or not (I guess it depends on which intake). I plan on getting a set of the Pro Topline heads, too (at some point).
I am sure I can guess where the responses are going to be, but I just want some opinions.
Thanks folks,
