I am installing a mod motor in my car as well -- so I thought I would chime in too. Good information here, and it is correct to say that you WILL spend more money on a mod motor install -- no question, and it will take more of your time or a vendor to install all of the pieces and get the wiring all sorted out. I wanted to install a mod motor because of the smoothness of the engine -- I know it is crazy, but I like gobs of smooth power; but that is just me. Taking nothing from the 351 motors because they are super cool too, but it just was not for me. One of the reasons why I like the Pantera group so much is because all mods are interesting. Anyway, if I were to go the 351 route and I was incredibly patient, I would go with one of the 351C aluminum blocks that has been talked about on this forum -- I would also install EFI fuel injection too for the easy start, and for the smoothness factor. My wife hates loud stuff, so to sell getting the car I was forced to go the route I am going, but then again, I want to take this thing on long rides, and loudness is great for a half an hour, but it would be long for hours on end..... and I want to drive it!!!
