[QUOTE]Originally posted by THE COUG: [QB] Well seeing as I will never get a race. I'll let you guy's in on some info I have to share about this topic. Allot of things matter about a engine combo but the first mistake people make with the 351w is to go steel crank 4 bolt main etc etc. The fact is the 351w is a very stout short block. I have been racing it for 10 years now and can tell you that the stock crank and block are very strong (unlike the 302). Also if your talking about drag racing a 10 in tire car with stock rear suspension you would be better off to stick with the 351w displacement. The reason for this is the torque that the stocker 392 etc etc make down low good luck getting that throw you back in the seat feeling when the tires just spin! :D I think the best heads for the money are the Vic jr's. For a grand you get a head that flows very well and is capible of 700 hp with juice or a blower! However with any big valve head you must have a cam with allot of lift so as to not impede the flow of the head by shrouding the port. Kinda blocking it if you will so a minimum lift of 550 would be best. Then there is the reast of the issue's blower, nos, gears, stall conv, stick, smog concern, etc. Here is the combo I run Solid roller cam 588 598 lift 264 272@50 dur. on 110 lobe sep. Stock 89 351w block with stock crank 10/10 eagle rods and lunati pistons with plasma molly rings. Vic jr heads ( Done by Cylinder head Dynamics ) Vic jr intake My own custom built carb that flows 895cfm. All MSD ign. comp is 10.9.1. This combo runs on pump gas and made 400 hp to the rear tires and 476 ft pounds of torque on the motor allone!!! :D :cool: Here is another thought for you guys! Why is it nos motors live longer than blower motors??? Asnwere; Because when the bottle is off the motor doesn't know it is there!! :D I bet you never thought of it that way. The downfall of course to this is the fact that with a blower car you always have that power when you want it and the bottle never goes empty :( This combo is very streatable and can be built for around 5g. Not bad considering thats a 500hp motor at the flywheel and with the juice well thats another story :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
