like I said its still a street car. If it was just a track car that I was going to trailer to the strip then I would do that but the 205's and Ported Victor 5.8 will get me to the goals I want. 205's are almost 2K and 225's are even more and the 205's will get the job done w/ out cutting corners.
 
Okay here is my question, what motor mounts, oil pan and headers are being used to do the 351 w swap?
With the 351 w being three inches taller than the 302, clearance will be an issue.
I have heard that there are motor mounts that provide a 3/4 inch drop and I suppose I could shim the k-member a 1/4 inch leaving me with 2 inches to deal with hopefully leading to a smaller cowl hood.
If I go with a turbo instead of a centrifical will the header issue be a mute point?
I have a dart alloy block, bored to 4.125, with a 4 inch stroke, and 225 raised port heads. It will remain fuel injected, so I am considering the trick flow R intake.
 
I think a Hogan's Intake is what you want for your budget swap!! :rolleyes:... :D

It's about 11" or 12" tall and with a Griggs K member spaced down 1/4" it fits under the Saleen Heat extractor hood.

The pic's are not the best.....

$2800 , The intake is $2500 + 300 for the fuel rails.

They custom make them for your engine. So you have to tell them what heads you are running, etc.

Yeah, I was going to mention they were custom. I have a buddy who had one built by them and it looked completely different. Dual throttle bodies and all. Looked very exotic, but nothing I'd want to run on the street without some serious cubes or forced induction to back it up.
 
how bad would that intake kill low end. it would probably be pretty good for boost later on though.

how much do you want to spend on an intake? i keep a good eye out on the classifies over a few forums and i ran across this i dont know if the guy would come down anymore tho

I don't know if anyone replied about re using head bolts. Don't do it! I was on a budget reused arp head bolts. After a week they stretched and heads started leaking. It cost me the weekend, more gaskets, head gaskets, and still had to buy head bolts. Why are lessons so expensive with cars.
 
How about this intake: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/351W...c0.m245&_trkparms=72:1171|65:12|39:1|240:1318
My typhoon intake order fell through some I'm back to finding an intake.

That intake would not be good for a 351cid with some dinky GT40 heads. Look into something like a Victor 5.8. You are really wasting your time putting GT40 heads on the 351 so giving good advice on an intake would be hard to do.

Anyway you cut it the car will not make 300rwhp. More like 270rwhp and 350rwtq. The torque numbers will seem good but it will fall off fast. You will probably peak around 4,000rpms and you will be shifting at 5,000rpms to keep yourself in the powerband. 302s with your average Trickflow top end kit will be handing you your ass.
