dont you think its a good question?...think about it...the 351w is light years ahead of the little grocery getter 302

& has so many advantages that a lot of car guys know & understand

eg...guy does a 347 stroker on a 302...with copious amounts of cash inside a block that can barely take 500 hp without

puking its guts at the track...sure its been done...but not often

spend the same money on a 351...do a stroker like a 408 or 427...& we all know how the rime goes about cubes

but the biggest plus is the 351 is just more robust in so many areas...

you can turbo them or SC...spray the snot outta em...in fact I havent heard of one splitting

seen some bent rods come outta one...but it didnt break

now I like the 302...its what I have...fun little motor to mod...etc

but its a stock block & internals...if it blows...theres another one somewhere for cheap

most of you guys know the differences between the two motors...pls post your thoughts on where you would spend your loot

ya ya I know...put an LS in it...lets just keep it Ford content for now
