fl327 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 i think the weight of the 351 is offset pretty good in a ford swap cuz you can put the motor farther back due to the distributor being in the front of the car. now a 302 in the same position may have a handling advantage, but i think a built 351 will blow that slight handling advantage away, and on the street its a no-brainer, 351 is gonna be gonzo on a 302.

Dp351zcar Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 That is what I am counting on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
