p.s. like the gerbils line

The 300 is a great motor. It pulls, and lugs. I dont think there is much you can do, besides let it breath. That was the case with many Ford Engines. They didnt have the soft cam issue's of the chevy's. or lack Horsepower and torque like the chevy's did either. I guess that why GM is in so much trouble financialy now. They really dont have a marketable product, that can hold up... One might say, There Gerbils went on strike.

hey Destroya you said you had a 351 throttlebody attached to your 300....well I have a windsor tb and a 300 I got from a junk yard (the throttle body that is) cleaned it up and would really like to make it work- any advice how did you get yours to attach to the throttle cable and what did you do to match the bore, do I need bigger injectors, will it kill my 20mpg gas mileage. Im very interested. whats the outcome on power do I need serious electircal work. Im not a 300 god any suggestions?
