My engine obviously will not do 8000+ rpm's but how would it do in a 1/4 mile drag race against the GT 350? Would it be close or will I be eating GT 350 dust? Just curious. |
Given your 351w is actually a 402 is that a fair comparison?  It will be interesting to watch the aftermarket if not Ford when the poke & stroke crowd try to enlarge the cu in of the new engine, bore with light rods & pistons yes, but stroking by large amounts is going to cause some head scratching!
