Why not just rebuild you 351, there very good motors, with a set of AFR 185 aluminum heads, right cam, and a little tweaking of the fuel inhection you can easily make a reliable, streetable, pump gas 400+ HP. DW

What kind of gas mileage differences could I expect going from a 351W to 460? Wouldn't I also need a new engine computer and all the other electronic stuff? Why a C6 over a big block E4OD? Thanks.

c.i) diesel in. that would be very intersting. i wonder how much more weight that carries over a SBF.
