I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. I think it's great what James has done with
cramming in a 351 into the Tiger. It certaninly makes for an interesting Tiger.
But does it go as FAST as the one I saw run the very low 10's in Maryland last
Oct? I think if it was my Tiger 11, I would go with original as best as I
could. Why not put a 351 in a Pinto or an Alpine. The Tigers are the more
desired marque. However, Modified often promotes more creativity and more
skills. And perhaps James had minimal to work with. The Tiger I bought 6+ years
ago was almost a parts car. But I had most of the pec. Believe me that was a
great help. Mine is now very original. And I'm proud of that fact. For my
thoughts I'd prefer a 289, and hop it up, if so desired. Let us know what you
plan to put in it when you decide. Good Luck, Mark F.
