For a small block V8 designed in the '60, it ain't real bad. As I said I'd rather have a 351, more cubes is never a bad thing. I currently run 30 over, 400m rods and crank (notched block), decked it, wiseco small dishes, boss 302 intake, 69 302 heads with a mad port job, exhaust, holley 650, 2" spacer, msd ignition etc etc. She moves for a truck. All the torque is under 2500rpm, real stump puller. Love it
yeah ive seen a few foxbodys with 351's bored to 408ci's they deff run good.When it comes to torque in a truck id much rather have a diesel tho...nothing makes torque a like a diesel,200k miles on a cummins,PSD or 6.6 dmax is like 50k on a gas engine.they hold theyre value extremely well and get way better mpg.That 1st gen cummins i mentioned earlier would get consistant 25+mpg cruising the highway and in town with the the fuel pump turned down .
street trim(pump turned down, wastegate set at 45psi,5inch turbo back exhaust) 560whp and 1100ft lbs tq and 22-28mpg cruising
