Just looking for opinions, what would give me more power and torque? A 351c/w swap or a 331/347 stroker kit? Either one I'm running nitrous, and bunches of mods.

I take it a race block would be the best bet? If so what's the biggest stroker for a race block.

Fuel injected 427 Clevor with Edlebrock aluminum 3v Cleveland heads. Edlebrock intake and a 75mm TB. 42# injectors. Long tubes and a T56 6-speed turnng 4:10 gears. Go with all forged internals and a custom ground cam. Should be able to get 450 hp at the crank.


THEN supercharge it. :behind: If I win the lotto.....

my 351W project turned into a 393 project, then a deal came up, so i might be getting rid of it in favor of a HCI setup for my current 302.

Myself I'd go with a 331/347 stroker. 351 is really heavy up front. Good for the drags I guess tho. Not as good in the twisties, which IMHO is more fun :thumb:

i have a 69 windsor block that i want to make to a 427, but need to do more research. if the block can;t handle a 427 i'll just do a 410, but i just can;t wait to have more cubes than all of the LSx's :coolsmiley:

The weight difference is not that significant. Your statement is incorrect.

Gotta be at least 50-75 pound weight difference between the 2.
