Completely depends on the combo. You can basically build the same amount of power with a 289,302,331 or 347. The difference is how high you have to spin it to make the same amount of power. With a ...
You should also factor in the T5, a well build 351 will kill a T5 quickly. A smaller cubic in. engine should not make as much torque and not be as hard on a T5. If you want to make some decent power you should look at stepping up to a stronger transmission. If I were to recomend an engine, I would say go with a 331 or 347, you can make plenty of power with either, more intake choices, easier to ...

With a smaller engine, more rpms are required to make the same power a larger engine can make at lower rpms with all things being equal. This...
