sorry no.
1. make a plan and goal
2. have a budget
3. build the motor based on 1 & 2
The stock 5.0 block begins to get sketchy around 400 or so hp. Adding a power adder only increases the chance of cracking the block in half. Forged internals will not stop the block from splitting in two. Make sense?
Save the money for forged parts when you build a Dart afterarket block. If you are planning on adding a power adder, then you should build the stock block based motor for that goal. The first thing you do is get the camshaft and build the motor around that. It is not that much more expensive to build a 331 or 347 than to build a 302 or 306. The extra cost is in the machine work and stroker rods. Again, go back to # 1,2,3. If you plan on building a stroker 331, your cam , heads, crank, rods will be different choices than a 302. If you know you will add a blower, same thing- a blower cam, pistons, valve springs, rings, etc. Like I said, it may pay for you to contact someone like Ed Curtis or Woody at FordStrokers and pay them for their knowledge to build you a motor that will perform and last, rather than one assembled with mismatched parts that will underperform or worse.
Know that MANY guys run 400+ rear wheel hp on stock block 302 cubic inch factory motors inclucing me, with a good H/C/I, power adder,and a good tune. That is more than enough power to split your block in half and to get these cars in the 11's.. Another budget option is a used 5.0 explorer motor. They come factory with GT40 heads and intake and with a cam and valve spring change can easily make 270ish rwhp for well under a grand.
Lastly, remember whenever you add power, that impacts every other system and component- cooling, braking,
suspension, transmission, rear end. Those need to be addresed or you will find the weak link. These cars came factory with 225 flywheel HP,.
is expensive!
