He told me if i wanted them for my current 302, he would trade them to me for my 351W and the Tranny i got, plus $350. I can' swing the $350, so i said what about $250 and the engine and tranny... he said he'd think about it. what do you guys think? my 351 project is coming along so slowly, cause i have no money to put into it... where as with the intake and heads i can put them on the 302 with a new cam, and have it all tuned. THAT i can afford. should I make the trade? what would you guys do? I want to build the 351, but can't afford it right now. My buddy can... the 302 i already have, it already runs, and i could have the money for the new tune before i even got the new parts installed. not to mention i've already got the 70mm throttle body, a CAI, and the elbow for the intake(got that in a deal that included the TB) would you guys build what i can afford now, or hold onto the 351, and build it over time... I figured i can find a 351 in the condition it's in now, for less than i paid for the complete engine... so i could always do that later down the road... not to mention the wife and I are thinking about trying for kid #2, so that would mean the 351 would take even longer... HELP!? I need opinions. i'm leaning towards the heads/cam/headers...</blockquote>
