408 N/A windsor is the best N/a power plant you can have in a fox IMO
How bout an ls1 (all aluminum) that weighs 100lbs less, with stock shortblock, 346 cubes, a cheap set of heads, and a very streetable hydraulic roller cam that makes just as much if not more power than a serious solid roller 408. Please no one respond to this comment, I don't want to turn this into the Ford vs. Chevy battle. Just know that I'm right, that is all, thank you.408 N/A windsor is the best N/a power plant you can have in a fox IMO
There's not really a such thing as "making up" for the weight because you can just as easily throw the same weight saving parts on any other motor and you're still 50lbs behind. Not that 50lbs is the end of the world, just saying.like notchbacklx said, getting a tubular k-member will make up for the weight gained, but comparing the power/weight, a 351 is worth it. Especially because of the amount of power it can handle. I'll gladly add 50 pounds to my car. But 50lbs is accurate as said before.

Realistically, I'd like anything over 450 to the wheels. I'd also prefer to keep it fuel injected. I don't even know the norms/limits of the stock 351w block. It's not going to be a daily driver after college, but I'll still want it to be within the realm of a tame weekend driver.
