Ok guys I am in a little dilema. Really just looking for some advice. I've got a few scenarios here, right now I am stuck with my stock 302 bottom end with tfs stage 1 cam, trickflow street heat intake, and gt40p heads.
Here's the deal I've got 700 bucks to spend so doing anything outrageous is not an option.
So I am looking for the easiest way to get me to go fast. I have a nitrous kit sitting in the garage but I honestly dont really want to go that route. Although it is still lingering as an option. But, I could sell it to get me a little more cash for a build.
I was thinking about going to a junkyard and pulling a 351w for maybe 200 bucks and having it rebuilt, I would probably have to use stock internals but clean everything up and put all new bearings in it. Also I would be stuck using the parts I've got now, gt40p heads, I would probably sell the intake to use an explorer intake with a truck lower. And I guess I would be stuck with the stock 351 cam if I get a flat tappet motor. So my question is, is this even worth it? Will I be faster or just about in the same spot? What if I manage to find a roller motor and use the gt40intake, heads, and tfs cam?
I guess my other option would just be to save a little more and buy a set of used aluminum heads.
