So my original 351W is starting to knock when cold. As a result I've decided to begin building a higher performance replacement. I've already bought a roller 351 out of a 96 pickup. I need to take the cam bearings out and check to see if it has the journal cracks- either way I'll be going roller.
So my current plan is to have the shortblock rebuilt with stock pistons, throw some Trick Flow TW 170's on there (supposed to be equivalent to AFR 185's), have my Edelbrock Performer 4 barrel intake (with EGR, a rare beast) professionally ported by "Tmoss", throw in a custom cam, and put a Holley Sniper self learning fuel injection unit on it.
The goal is to have it smooth and very streetable, work on 87 pump gas, while making the most amount of power with those exceptions.
If anyone has suggestions to help improve my build please chime in! Especially about other heads and cams. I know some people will say the heads are too small for the engine, however that seems to be coming from drag racers posting online.
