There is no question reliable HP per Dollar the 351w is hands down the winner due to the fact that it has been in existence since the late 60`s. In 40 years the 4.6 or 5.4 will be cheap do build reliable power. You have to remember most of the performance parts are designed to be sold to racers [dirt,scca etc] Once they sell alot of cranks and rods and pistons they can make them cheaper because it becomes routine to make them. Someone mentioned shm blocks well in 10 years i would guess they would drop 50% in price. I finnally got back to my project and I have my 383 w almost ready. A 454 is way to much for a stock block, and since you mentioned the kite factor it probably wont be worth the extra headachs for that little more power and since you dont care about 200 extra lbs build a big block. I though the windsor was alittle to cookie cutter for me so i decided to make a semi unique one 68' block has about 17 lbs more weld on the webbings so you get a true 150 hp rating over the later block. My friend is putting 1450hp through his 69 stock block in his funny car. I realize this is the exception and not the rule but the early 351 is very beefy. Then i bought a chp forged crank, rods [6 inch] and pistons. Im getting tfs wanna be heads same castings but cnc`d and 2/3rds the price 2.05/1.70 But instead of the holley 4barrel im using a trick flow efi intake, because im going to rev her to 7200 I`m getting the track heat. Also im plumbing a t-72 turbo. I love the maf injection because it really is like have a carb tuner all the time under your hood wrenching as you goose it. So i believe its not the base engine you use its the heads, fuel delivery and power adder that makes it for me. An injected/turbo 383/w is the perfect muscle/modern engine for me, it has the bark of the pushrod v8 and the whine of the turbo with the versitility of maf injection. Chad

Sorry guys just got out of rehab for a painkiller problem with my football injury it set me and the project back quite a bit so to all who are crying hoax or doubting me please lay off ive had a rough 60 days and life isnt pretty now so unless anybody has good suggestions please shut up. I lost my football scholarship blew my shoulder out and got strung out on painkillers so please lighten up. Chad

your damn right why everyone dosnt stroke motors is a big question to me its so cheap to ad 30 cubes to a 5.0 that are realiable asnd track tested it dosent make sense to me unless they need more reving in a certain type of road race car but then hey why not buil a race motor

I love stroked long roded 351w I have one but when the comp ring on the pistons fills withg oil because some engineers tried to squeze a few cubes in...That is a ploy to me, they originally posted them as "TRY 427 S/C POWER IN YOUR SMALL BLOCK" guess what the reason the 427 made so much in the shelby cars was becaause the side oiling and about 1000 coolant and lube passages.

Dude hat those post are 2:30 in the morning after a 10 hour day of trench digging then three hours welding a jet on wheels please oh please cut me some slack Chad

sorry milled head is requiered also i was talking about either a built small amount of money or gt40 head. Chad

Is ther any body here who can lay carbon fiber nicely or say fiber glass if so you want a job? Im opening my arizona shop and im going to make z supercars so i need carbo parts but glass would be nice let me know

thats probably why its so cheap but ill ask my pro pro pro tommarrow at the shop

yes they are that cool man u can puck up a jy 5.0 that you can rebuil for 250 that will run for ever, at 320-380 hp with turbo 400-600 Chad

but you choose wisley ford is lighter more 50/50 balancr and turbo`s so ez its stupid. We will eventually com out with a z shorty turbo header and a garret sigle turbo for us stroker 351 guys who wannt lag and twqin kits for the guys whho want 2 grand up hp. Anywhere from custom 10,000 kits to a mere jy clean as possible 600 kit. But we got the tube bender done so let ,e know if you want a cage/tower braces/frame crossmembers or if you are in our area bay area and need fab work done also we plane tto make a concealable 36 point rllcage kit that hoooks up to a ford 8.8 or 9 inch rear. Chad

well im waiting on my dads ca" 66 cobra to be done then we are off to the races. Everythging possible has gone bad we keep eating dist gears and we are runnin stadard oil pump, bad cam gears but we havr used so many bramds crans speed pro and comp...but right after that we will have it done my guess 1-11/2 months ready to ship but ebveryone will have to sign a waiver saying if your car ies im not getting sued : )

once my kit is up and running if you can fab and have a decent priccred tranny enine 1000 it will work, ive done it look at my ky list thats close t o what you should do CHsad

Im using a toploader but, but would its fine because 6-700 hp doesnt car if you stsrt in 4th Also the 9 inch kit will be out it will be verybadass, we are trying to have the stock spring housing with the stock almost everything. Remember guys solid rears get way better traction all the way around for hi hp cars or else trans am cars the priemer road racers [where irs shines] wouldnt take out the dana 30`s corvette irs [the strongest irs] and put in 9 inchs which may seem to you bowtiers like a sacrelig but hey nobodys prefect
