Engine choice for new build

[oldguy668]

One of the projects I'm considering to fill my vacant shop is another roadster. This time I have to watch the pennies, so i'm going to find a good used engine. My understanding is that 2001 Explorers/Mountaineers were the last to use the Windsor 302. I'm just looking for the pros and cons and if I should bother to search one out. I think I can find one with wiring and electronics for relatively short money. Looking forward to your comments.

You can save some money this time Joe by not going with ISIS. Last thing you need is to accidentally end up on some terrorist list!

I'm pretty sure I'm already on their list. When they arrive, they can say hello to my new little friend. His name is Kel-tec KSG.

There were also some 351s used in trucks and vans I believe. I get the impression that you plan to leave it pretty stock so that would get you some extra horses.
