    Simple heads/cam/intake full bolt on 351 will be good for a 500whp car!

    that makes no sense at all......

    331 is a windsor variation. 351c is a big block... if a 302 combination couldnt meet you HP expectations, there's several choices in the middle of a 331 and a 351c.


    what you just said was like.....

    " hey, where do you want to eat tonight "

    A: " eh... lets either grab a burger from mcdonalds or fly to miami for some fresh scallops "

    No logic behind this suggestion. and suggesting a 351c for an old street car fixer upper is stupid anyways. Most any normal human being can triple their HP expectations with a windsor, why suggest a torqy bigblock for a possible rusty and soft framed street car... /facepalm.

    Wow when did the 351 become a big block?!?!?! I must have missed that part. TO think all this time I thought the only big block ford vehicle ever was the mid to late 70's truckS!

    Definitely a good trade-up! Let me know what you want to do to it. My girl has a project '67 coupe and I've been looking into plenty to make hers an easy daily. I'd look into a roller 5.0 block for sure. You'll definitely make 300hp with a mild roller motor and will get some MPG with the hyd roller cam to boot even with a carb.

    plenty, I had one of these too, a 66 with a 289. Horrible brakes and no a/c. Mine was in real good shape and still was a chore to keep on the road. G/L though...

    I am happy for you, but I seriously feel pain if you plan on daily driving that car. It isn't my place to deem a car appropriate or inappropriate for daily use for anyone other than myself, so I will just say I don't think DD'ng that car is a smart idea. Cars even 6-7 years old have crippling problems. I would hate to think about the kind of problems a 44 year old car might have. Best luck to you though.

    How do you figure that it wont be a good dd? there is a lot less to go wrong with this car that a new car. what do you think people in the 60s drove every day? if it maintained in should be no problem with it being a dd. i instaled my 302 5 years ago with all new parts,carb,fuel pump,msd dizzy, new alternator and starter. its has never left me stranded or failed to start

    302 with the Twisted Wedge Head Kit, Throttle Body, Intake, Full exhaust, tuned, will be good for around 300-320 at the ground! and be an EFI set-up!

    They don't make 4 lug slots in anything bigger than 15x7 or so. And a motor swap would require swapping the whole car to 5 lug anyway. Best to sell the whole set to someone here on the Old School forum (because these cars use the same lug pattern as most old RWD import cars) and start with a 5 lug set.

    As far as any motor swap bigger than a 351 windsor goes, you'd have to scrap the front suspension and convert to Mustang II or something. The modular motors are too wide to clear the shock towers.

    yeah im not too worried about it... the guy i bought it daily drove it for a while too so it shows that it can handle it...
