Default I finally found a block to put into Franky

The weather is turning finally and this is my time that I like to build up my cars.....I'm picking up this '74 351W .40 It's been machined and ready to go. I am up in the air on what to do with it. I like the coche$e and Scott way.....but could I buy a kit and stroke it and still blow carb turbo?? or could I stroke it and EFI it?? and of course the spray?? $$ are not the issue..I just don't like laying it all out all at once.....

stroking is nice, but those guys are making a boat load of power with much less inches.

well you bought one already setup, so why stroke it and re-do everything? ill make a fair swap on another 351 that you can put a 408 kit in. That stock compression would be a great candidate for boost. Put an F cam in and a nice single and you'll have a well-mannered street machine. 500+ lbs torque too!

Looks like we have a new "Big Money" on the Board! Good luck with the build Pat. I saw Joes car run Thursday night. Very impressed! He definitely has the 351 figured out.
