I'm currently prepping my 88 for a new engine/trans set up. My goal is 500hp all motor with a possiblity of adding a little juice.
I'm stuck on what size engine should I start with most of all. I got a guy here that runs 9.60's with a 331 stroker, but I have always wanted to build a 408 or 427. The problem is why go bigger if you don't hve to.
Basically what I'm asking is what base block is best for those numbers and do I have to buy the new boss block or Dart block to achieve those kinda numbers without a chance of blowing it? I have heard that the 69 block was the best production 351w block, any truth to that?
The entire project will have to cost less than 10K starting with a rolling chassis with cage.
Oh and I will be going with a carb set up.
Thanks for any help
