331 opinions
I'm most likely upgrading to a 331 stroker motor.......
I'd like to hear pros and cons you might wanna provide. 3:73's will be going in and not sure what else. tell me what y'all think.

I like it...but you already knew that.
I had a 331 in my black foxbody and it made plenty of power

I like the idea too..........but liking something is much less expensive than actually having it.
But.............we'll see.

Your motor is pretty fresh, right? I think you'd probably have more "fun for your dollar" with a Vortech. Later on when you want to turn the wick up on the blower and need to build a motor that will handle it, build a 331.
