i dont like mod motors the 4.6s are weak i got a fox because u can throw on a $1500 turbo kit and make 450hp in a 2800lb car but it was breaking before i could do anything fun with it...plus in the 5.0 a cam and a tune $600=25 hp a camaro cam and tune $900= 45-70hp it speaks for itself less mods u can make a camaro faster and be reliable. a LS1 you can get around 7 or 8 k stock around 100k miles the lt1s are cheaper and im just lookin for a 450-550hp street car. nothin too crazy

 

The 302 isn't that great of a motor anyways. The Chevy 350 is basically the king of engines.

When you see a Mustang running under 10 seconds at the track, they pop the hood its a GM engine. Ford can't build an engine to save their life anymore. The one thing Ford did very well is a 9" rear.

I won't be sticking a 9" under my car rather a Dana 60 (S60).

 

Honestly you can get a pretty nice/clean LT1 for 3-4k these days.. LS1's you can get in the 5-7k range easily if you look

 

terminator motor with hellion tt kit run 10s,9,and 8sec.. I know a guy with a 429 CJ motor that runs in 10 flats, dont get me wrong chevy builds badass motors top 3 motors id want to build is a 350,383 and a 327. 302 was awesome in the late 80s thats it. now the 5.0 came back pretty strong but thats all Ford really has goin for them anymore. the 350 is easiest cheapest and most reliable engine to build so i will give you that.

 

maybe people are high where i live i do know out here when you buy a ls1 car doesnt matter the milage or what your payin for the name ls1. Im sure ill run across a good deal sooner or later.
