Haven't you already ask that question in this thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...and-351-a.html

Let's not open new threads when we have one current.


Your's is a question that we can't answer for you.

You are going to do what you do. I will stick with my 390/C6 combo. Good luck with your venture.

actually john, I asked in my other thread if parts from my 302 would fit my 351, I scratched that idea and now I'm wanting to know which motor would be better to build up

Well, for the bumpsides my preferance is the FE 390. Not to costly, and there seems to be a good source of parts for all the FE Motors. Good luck, and have fun with what ever motor you chose to build.

Both motors are great motors. Weight your Pros and cons. What have you bought for the 302 and what you will have to buy for it compared to what you have and what you need for the 351. I would build which ever is going to cost you less than save the other to build for a later project.
