I bought a used 1969 351w for my cobra. It was pulled form a 32 Ford Street Rod. Paid $490 for it. The guy said it was rebuilt with only 3000 miles on it. No proof of anything. Only thing I did to it was a little cleaning and changed the plugs and wires. I can still get the tires to spin at 55 mph. Only time I checked mpg I got 18. There are deals out there, just keep looking. I was about a year into my build before I bought the engine. In a 302 max hp is about 400. A 351w 400 hp is easy. Go with the bigger motor !!!!! Jim
