Default Ford Crate 392
If your looking for a 351, why not the Z head 392, it is 351 based, straight from Ford. It puts out over 500hp for $7700. I have the GT40 heads with less hp than the Z-headed 392, but it is is all I can handle. You get a lot of hp for the money. Factory reliability (hopefully). I only have 5000 miles but no issues at all - runs like a Swiss watch, well a noisy Swiss watch.
