You guys are more positive about the GT-40 then I am, I wouldn't run it on a stock 351.

Get ready to spend close to a $1k just for headers to fit a 351 in a 94-95 body. So far kooks is the only company that I have seen make them.

who's knocking them?
Remember this thread was just about mulling over the cost differences between the 8.2 and 9.5 routes ... not really about what I necessarily plan on doing. (not to mention I don't have 4 grand in my back pocket to spend all at once either) Truth be told I was trying to hammer out ideas about whether to do a simple 302 h/c/i or move up to a mild-mannered stroker setup and someone suggested just ditching the 8.2 and move up to a 351w based engine since "you'd be replacing everything anyway". That's where the question of cost pros/cons came in. Tommy's point about swap headers for sn95's was something I hadn't considered and would play a big part in the final cost of a swap.

Jon. Have you ever driven a stout 331 or 347 streetcar?
You'll keep the sleeper image, and alot of parts you already have by sticking to an 8.2 deck motor. And it will be plenty.
