My next engine project.
I'm going to start on building a new engine this fall.Nothing wrong with my 306 mechanically speaking,and it only has 2000 miles on it to date.This is going to be an ongoing project for about a year or so,and it will have the best of everything (as time and money allow)so I'm looking for some opinions from you guys. I have the old 302 roller block out of my coupe that needs a rebuild,and if I go with that,I'm looking at either a 331 or 347.My other idea was a 351 based engine,since I know where I can get one out of an E-350 van cheap (which would be a bonus since they already have the double sump pan). Tonya heard Brians 418 last night,looked at me and said,"I think you need a bigger engine!"

 i think that by the time u put the money in a 331 or 347 u could build 30 or 40 over 351 that u can have more fun with and have higher hp output with out buying a block. i think the new model 302 roller blocks are a waste of money.

If you're on a tight budget (like most of us are) and you have a lot of 8.2" motor stuff on your 302 that you would like to reuse, then I would recommend not going 351. With the 9.5" motor, you'll have to buy new headers, intake, hood, distributor, flywheel, balacer, etc.... However, if you plan on buying that stuff anyway, then you may as well go with the 351-based motor.

engine
Piston to rod ratio is not that great on a 347 life will be shorter 351 will live longer under same hp conditions. I say big block or bust lol
