will the increased displacement make more power per dollar spent than my 302 ?
just looking for peoples experiences with the swap and its benifits :dontknow:

Even a 347 will make you wonder about 302's lol. But a 408... :eek:

i personally have a 302 base motor that walks all over these windsors, cubic inches are nice but it's all about the combo. I personally haven't jumped on the 408 bandwagon yet so i'm sure you'll get both opinions

Nitrous Rick had a basic Bronco short block (351) with out the box Victor Jr heads, a Super Victor and a comp cams off the shelf flat tappet solid and he went 10.80 on motor in his car. He went 9.80 on the hose. This is of course with a stick trans. PM him for details. This motor ran on pump gas all day long.

No replacement for displacement You can build a more streetable 351 with the same power as a balls out 302

I just recently went to a stroked winsor. I will never switch back. The car has all the torq in the world. in my opinion it was a great change.

351 FTW .. Blocks are stonger, more cubic inches, Way more Tq so you don thave to twist them to the moon to get a decent e.t, which is thus easier on parts.. And of course there is no replacment for cubic inches
