Engine Recommendation: 347 or 351W
I currently have a pretty tame Ford crate 302 putting out about 340hp. I am not sure of which one so I do not know the details of the internals.
I am trying to determine if the best option is to build a new 351W based engine or get my current engine stroked out to 331 or 347 (now that the oil problems seem to have been taken care of).
I would like to be able to reuse as many of my current parts as possible if it means that I can keep the cost down.
My goal is for about 425-450 horsepower while still keeping it very streetable. Also, it is an automatic (AOD) so I would like to avoid having to get it upgraded to handle too much power. Although I will probably need to up the stall speed to 2200 or so.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated, especially if you know of some places around town that can help with the engine build and swap.
Thanks.
