need to find a good machine shop to rebuild a 351M to swap into my galaxie 500...want to spend about 3 grand and have a bout 450-500 hp...is this possible???
450hp for $3k is going to be a real challenge. I guess it will depend on what you are starting with, and what you can do yourself. If you find swap meet Cleveland heads, and a good used intake, and a 400m bottom end, it would go a long ways. Getting the compression up, and an adjustable valve train in there seems real important. I expect you have looked at this tread already. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139638&highlight=351m
