The thought being 1. Everyone thinks 5.0 with 215HP from the factory. Even with mods, 300 - 350HP? 2. No one is expecting a 351 bored 0.40 over and a stroker kit. Based on my calculations it comes out to about 395 CI @ 9 or 10:1 comp ratio. Haven’t even spec’d out the cam yet. Oh the fun to be had all while looking like a stock 5.0.

Why not go straight to a 408- 427 ?

No one said the thing:

302 parts make 302 power

5.8 is the next step
Then straight to 460

Hey all, sorry for the long silence. I finally got the car back to its other home and I had some time to look into it. It would appear the engine was hydro-locked. After some slow and careful diagnosis, I was able to get it to rotate. While most everything was apart I rebuilt the fuel injectors, put it all back together and was able to successfully get it to start and run. However, it sounds like a cement truck with a barrel full of cinder blocks. I haven’t had time to tear into it deeper so I cannot assess what the damage is. Once I do I’ll let y’all know.
