Question size matters...

what's the biggest engine i could cram under my '96's hood?? i only have the 3.0 under there now and it's slow as my old diesel rabbit. ok, not that slow... but it could use some help. probably not gonna be able to do anything for another year or so, but it's nice to dream....

a tech i know said a 302 or 351 would do nicely. anybody have any comments?

If you think you can afford it, "go big or go home" is the rule to live by. Drop a stroked 460 in it!
