    i might go with the 302 with some performance parts. i want dual exhaust, headers, etc and i dont think thats doable with the 351. also does anyone know how much the unisteer rack and pinnion bolt on kit improves handling, ive been really eyeing that kit up to give my car better handling when i put a bigger engine in. the manual steering and stock steering system just makes me nervous sometimes on the road. my maverick likes to drift

    Just turn it into a 347, the lighter rotating assembly will wind up quicker than a 351.
