Hello, everyone. I was thinking about what to do on my 69 351W 2v engine. It's currently bone stock, and has never even had the valve covers off. It is the original motor with 95,000 original miles on it, and it runs great. I got to thinking about the future of it, however. Whenever it comes time for a rebuild, there are several choices. I could do a standard rebuild, new pistons, valve job, etc. But, more power would be nice. I want to keep the car streetable, but some seat-in-the-pants feel would be much appreciated. Converting to a 4v and 351 shorty headers would happen whenever it gets rebuilt. I know you can stroke a 302 to a 347, and that seems very popular. What could a 351 be stroked to? I'm loooking for low end power mostly, and to keep the engine the original block. What are some options or general pricetags for the various options? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
