- 1995 firebird rebuilt motor 5 spd dail driver
1987 grand wagoneer plow truck
1987 mustang lx 5.0 work custom engine bay and paint
1972 mach 1 project
ok so im tossing around ideas on how to build my motor, im new at this ive done a lot of research etc on the 351c, but i would like to maybe build the motor this winter with guidance of a knowledgeable friend hes built motors but i s a chevy guy
car will be mostly a show car, nice day driver with some power!
what i have
D0AE block 4 bolt main
d0ae-a rods
im assuming stock crank'
D1zb closed chamber 4v heads with screw in studs
offenhauser alum intake
hooker i believe, long tube headers
will have a toploader 4 speed sitting behind it
im looking to obviously re use the block and rods, i dont think i will have to bore the motor but im going to get the block checked, and fluxed. also plan on gettin the rods check and shot peened?
im looking to keep it low budget since im in school
so lets say 1500 -2000
where do you guys think it would be wise to invest my money.maybe shooting for 350-400hp?
