I'm thinking the 5.7 hemi would be more efficient mainly because it's injected. Shouldnt have much problems spanking either ride, but it still depends on what it's in. Gonna have a hard time if you're up against a T-bucket with 350 that has dual 4bbl on a tunnel ram.

I meant the 5.7 hemi. Yep, Tbucket is the hot rod that came before the model A. In other terms, a model T roadster. As my build suggested, it'll be scary fast, and some people may not want a second ride.

It's only munny. Check ebay for prices, but they give a good bang for the buck. I wouldnt mind a John Kaase new Boss9, but with 557 cubes.
No reason to drive with a hood on in the first place. I cruised mine with no hood for a while after I added the 4bbl. You missed the annual 'American Graffiti' car cruise yesterday. Over 100 cars cruising downtown in honor of the movie. It's a car guy movie. While you were here, we coulda snagged up them Clevage heads.

The 4BT has been done in a few Rangers. I think there's even a 6BT ranger. Building the unbreakable driveline? No such thing. You can build it up so your engine wont break it, though. Big Ujoints, big shafts, and bigger/better yokes. How about buy an old corvette, and throw a soopercharger on it. That'll be plenty fast.
Weigh the pro & con of each combo. Then tack on the prices. Then, picture yourself building it & driving it when it's done.

In his comments, it says he used to have a 302, but now he has the 351C.
