Ok so I'm looking for a short block. I talked to a friend of mine and we prettty much planned out my engine build. Thankfully he down to help me out. He is in school for this stuff too and he's good at what he does. He also has a fully equiped garage.
So anyway ill get to the point. Im looking for a shortblock. Latemodelresto or 50resto sells a couple that I'm interested. First is the basic economy 5.0 shortblock for $999.
Then there's the 5.8 351 windsor for $1299. How would this build compare to 5.0 shortblock? Would the parts I would use be the same on both? So when I'm searching for a top end for the 351 would they be the same? The only problem with the 351 is theysay its not built for superchargers or rurbo.
But If I want a supercharger they have a forged 5.0 shortblock for $1799. I'm just looking for your guys opinions.
The trickflow top end kit is what I want. And maybe a supercharger way down the road.
