well if you are going to be using this to drive from point a to b and not pull or haul alot then the 302 would be good but if you want to mod, lift, but bigger tires on it then hel yea go with the 351 but if you are going to drive not care how fast it will get to 60 and want the better milage (probably 2 better) and going to be driving flat land all the time then yea go with the 302.

 

A big thank you for everyone that chimed in. You probably saved me $ & hassle. I will start my search for a 351 block in moderate condition, and keep everyone posted on my progress. Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope everyone got some good toys over the holiday hehe
