Looking to maybe try to get a little more out of my 351w performance wise but not sure if it is worth it. I have a 1984 Supra Rider with 351W engine that runs strong. Was thinking about upgrading my cylinder heads and intake to try and get a little more out of the old 351 but not sure I can get that more out of her with just redoing the top half of the motor. I don't want to do a full rebuild with new pistons etc.
Is it possible to get a few more ponies out of the engine by upgrading just the heads and intake or is really not worth the money. I have looked at oldl performance heads on Craigslist but not sure I want to go with something that may not work. Looked at packages on summit and Jegs but again, not sure there is enough bang for the buck with out changing the cam and pistons. I know if I am going with the stock pistons that I need a smaller value style head. I would probably contact the head mfg and see what size they would recommend.
Anyone on here gone this route before and sorted out the parts that work best? As always, performance parts for Ford are always more expensive than chevy and the added cost for only a few more HP may not be worth it. Let me know what you think.
thanks
Dan
