My build is several years out so I figure by then I will have had a chance to repeatedly go over the build manual and the excellent builds on this forum.

There will be several questions, and I have had discussions with FFR, but I'm finding there are some things they just can't help with or can't decide for me.

I'm not sure how to organize the questions because it seems like for clarity I should do one at a time. If I get too far afield in the organization probably someone will make suggestions - I see some Grade A presentations on here.

Question 1: Choice of engine. Has anyone put Ford 289/302 in. 347/351 etc. Do people like 427 FSB for street driving or was it in retrospect too much. Please weigh in with engine type and likes/dislikes about it, what you would do different if anything. EFI vs carb, etc. Chevy engine owners also if any. Just talk about your experience with engines and the plusses and minuses you have found in different kinds of driving you do. Cost doesn't come into this question because I have a pretty good idea on the relative costs, but certainly if you want to talk about bang for the buck that could be part of it.

Many thanks.
