[QUOTE="truebluedevil02, post: 11259024, member: 43475"] I agree with wheelhopper. Although if its mainly a strip car then i would go 12:1 compression,you'll pick up a good amount of power and can run a pump gas race gas mix. I ran 2/1 pump 91/112race in my 12.5:1 408 stroker and had no problems. Also, i would go solid roller since its not seeing much if any street time. You can run a much more aggressive cam that way while still keeping overlap in check and being able to go for short drives when you want. But like Wheelhopper said, if your going through the motor, you might as well put a stroker in it, you gain a lot of power and not spend much more $ over all. You'll need new piston regardless if you bore it (you will likely have to), the rods will need to be reconditioned and have good bolts put in them so you'll have nearly the price of forged rods in the stock ones so you'll only be really "splurging" on a new crank and the beauty of the 351 cranks is if your only making 500ish hp the cast units hold up just fine so no need to go forged if you don't want to. Go 408ci and with a solid roller, good heads, big cam and 12:1 comp and I could easily see 475-500whp and mid/low 10's out of it with the ability to last a LONG time. Also, C4 FTW.
