cough302 aftermarket is HUGE....
Run a 347 if it's a drag car, 331 if it'd get a bunch of use. Then have endless choices for heads, intakes, off the shelf cams.....
i'm quite familiar with the 302 aftermarket...
do you realize that about 95% of that stuff works on the 351?
why would I run an expensive 347 stroker, when I could build a less expensive 351 and get similar power figures? or better yet........i could build a 351 stroker for the same cost as a 347
read what some of these guys are doing.......and tell me the 351 doesn't have better potential.

not to mention, the 4.2L motor would run off stock electronics...the 302/351....well that'd be interesting.
ever hear of a carb?

nah 351 have there limits just like anyother engine
oh yeah.....i'm not saying they're spectacular or anything. just figuring if you do a swap.........a 351 will have more potential in the long run than a 302....and way more potential than the 3.8 he's talking about.
4AGE was the only engine available in the '86
Go read the forums on www.mr2oc.com about modding that engine. The general consensus says it's a waste of time and money. Most of those guys just swap in the 4AGZE supercharged engine. Or.....if you look on Ebay...you'll see the JDM 20v'ers show up, like this one:

A swap would be cheaper in the long run.

The ford v6 isn't the best for handling lots of hp, so if thats what you want get the chevy v6 or a 5.o.
Exactly. Pull engine....swap in 351.
