Suggestions for good all around engine
I am looking to replace my 302 from Indy Mustang this winter. I have toyed with several options and would like some input. The car will hopefully be used for 50% cruising, 20% Strip and 30% AutoX or Open Track events. This is hopefully, since last season, I did one trip to the strip and did not get to any track events.
I was originally planning on staying carbed, after investigating stack injection and seeing some benefits to EFI, I am planning on going with the Quality Roadsters Mass-Flo EFI system to give vintage looks with ease of maintenance. I want to stay with a 302 based engine, so I see my options as.. FRPP 302 crate with the Z heads. Probably enough horsepower to scare me, but I am afraid that I will be looking for more again next year. DSS or Coast High 331 - Fully assembled, ready to go. Not too extreme of a stroker, so should hold up better and be good for more RPMs (right?). Coast High 347 - 420 HP (Can you have too much?) Lots of torque. Which of the three would you guys vote for? |
Make sure you get enough so you don't get bored with it 6 months down the road. I had the 392 FMS stroker rated at 430 hp and it was a strong motor. A year ago you could get it for $5995. But of the 3 you listed I would do the 347-420. Good Luck!!!
