thats a good start, but thats way to far away.
CAD could you do a engine swap? if so, how much would you want? that way i could learn.

The engine long block is the same. If he's going to replace the pistons anyway it doesn't matter if he starts with a forged piston Mustang/Mark VII HO block or the SO 5.0 block.



Wait, um, didn't the 5.0 SO start getting forged pistons in  . . . I wanna say 1987 or 1988 or so, I can't remember where I read it, though.  Maybe coolcats.net but don't hold me to that.

haha i would do it my self but my father doesnt trust me.
i have a question for you guys. if you had 4grand to spend on the motor, what would you do with it. i have one week to make my mind up about if i want a stock HO with a supercharger, with a holley intake manifold or get my motor rebuild with a 331 stroker kit, but keep stock heads and intake?



With these 2 options I would opt for the 302Ho S/C dealie-o.

I don't believe you'll get 350 at the rear wheels with a e7/302 even with a Kenne Bell supercharger. It's turbo time :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
The Kenne Bell would  blister the tires down low though. :burnout: Slopoke starts chanting Kenne Kenne Kenne!
