[QUOTE="6speedsd, post: 1512056, member: 1242"] So I'm bored with the power output of the 302 in my F100. It's ok...but when is ok good enough? Been thinking about buying a good set of heads for it (probably AFR's). Between those and a set of roller rockers, that's been dynoed to add nearly 80hp over stock garbage E7 casting heads...which mine has currently. AFR's are $1600ish, and in a 302 platform, you dont have much more room to grow before you start worrying about splitting a block in half.* My original plan was turbo, but that splitting issue is what changed my mind. As a typical ********, my brain starts wandering to bigger fish....bigger as in cubes.* Let's throw a 460 in this bitch!* So I ran with that a bit lately....but now I'm thinking otherwise. I'd probably have to alter my driveshaft going from C4 to C6, I highly doubt the Dana 44 rear this thing has would handle the torque of a BBF very long, added weight over the front end, tracking down the correct engine perches....we are adding up the cost quick here. Not counting rebuilding the 460/C6 when I find one. Then there's the fuel mileage....75mph is most of my driving, so I'd be guessing maybe 7mpg at best.* But the torque yo.....I love a torquey monster.* Yesterday while perusing CL, I come across a 351W, still in the crate that some dude bought but sold the truck before installing. Would need basic accessories, but it's just a stock rebuild, zero miles 351W.* I love that engine, always have, and it's a decent starting point for a build. Guys asking*$850,*which is a good price in my opinion.* With it I can reuse my C4, engine mounts, ect.* Part of me wants to jump on it, but I'm still stuck with a small block.* But a 351 with a better set of heads and a good cam is 400hp easy.* I really do have too many options here...lol. I want a BBF in the Pumpkin bad, but realistically the Windsor makes more sense to me, If for nothing more than simplicity and cost.* Jake, before you say it, NO I can't just leave it alone. Lol.
