What do you think I get ready to start buying. Should upgrade a 351W to a 428? Remember this is a dd

[Iwannagofast]

if your gona stroke it i say 408.....it would be cheaper

[imported_Gt_Jay]

I'am going for the 500 mark on all natural

[Iwannagofast]

you can do that easily with a 408

[imported_Gt_Jay]

But can you get 500 hp and 22mpg because i know someone who had this set-up, but if you dont drive it right it wil buck all over the place.

[Iwannagofast]

yes there isnt gona be that much difference......plus gas mileage is gona come mostly from the gearing

[Iwannagofast]

So you are go with the 408. what size of heads i was think afr 225 heads. and a custom cam and a good tune.

[Iwannagofast]

sounds good to me.....im not saying you have to go 408.....i just dont think the cost is worth the price.....its up to you

I like most of that, but i like to have a 50 oz har, bal. Plus, i have 4k just to do a full conversion on a 4 banger. i was just thinking of get a 351w block at the local wrecking yard and horning it at the local parts store.

[Iwannagofast]

you may not wanna do a stroker right now then

[imported_Gt_Jay]

Iwannagofast do you or anyone know how to id a 351 windsor block.

[Iwannagofast]

other than that i know the 94 and new trucks and vans that had 351w's were roller cam if your wanting to do that

A 408 will easily make 500 horsepower.

I don't think you are going to get 22 mpg out of a big inch motor. You would be better off with a 302 and a supercharger or turbo. If your buddy's car bucks all over the place, then he has some issues to sort out because it shouldn't be doing that.
