For an everyday street car which engine do you all prefer. I am looking for an everyday drive with good street performance.
I read some where thet the 351W had better gas mileage than a 302 has anyone herd this as well?

If you want performance go with the 351W. They are tough, and can handle massive amounts of power. A 302 can also be a real good street engine...... A 289 while great back in the early 60's just doesn't cut it anymore with HP amounts. I going to be spending good amounts of money, and i just hope to push 300 HP with my 289.

351 for sure and if you put together a fairly effieicent head, intake, cam, carb combo, 300hp out of 289 inches is relatively easy. Little over 1hp per inch

What kind of crap is this? a 289 doesn't cut it with HP? How does a sub 10-sec quarter mile in a 66 or 6y Stang rate not cutting it?
Some of the statements people make are laughable. Dude, I'm not attacking you, but a 289 is quite credible on today's streets against today's vehicles.

I'd like to see that timeslip/video of the car if you have it. Not every classic mustang running 10's is a 289. They're good engines, don't get me wrong... but I haven't seen one pull a 10 yet. Then again... i've seen 2.4 liters pull 10's - forced induction, of course.

351W vs 302 vs 289
