[QUOTE="Mika, post: 762789, member: 12934"] Our 94 Gt project needs a powerplant and I'm looking for opinions and experiences from old and young. First of all let me say I'm mostly thinking bottom end and cam. I'll be running stock top end and as the budget allows start improvement there and eventually force air if we don't go stroker. I am trying to decide should I spend less and build a solid 302 or should I spend more now and go say 347. A few factors I need in the equation are; 1. Neither me or my son have any track time or hot rodding experience. Well I have just a little. 2. It will probably be a few years before he drives the car but If I go boost will I have more tuning options to slow him down a bit? 3. I (the old guy) think it's cooler to get power gains through displacement, however the younger generation seem to think the boost is cool. 4. I should also say the suspension is stock and will be improved as needed to put the power down. 5. Aode I think is what it's called auto/overdrive from a explorer. Anyway, lets hear what ya'll think. Thanks Mika [/QUOTE]
