After some thought and consideration of cost of parts and what I'll get out of it Ive decided to go with a new engine for that reason and b/c I want to put the R engine back to stock and put it in storage. The way the car is now I'll never see the Horse Power goals Ive been reaching for w/ the current 9:0 compression. I could put in a stroker kit and bump the compression but that still leaves the current engine in the car and like I said I think Id rather have it back to stock and in storage for safe keeping as more of a collector item. I dont plan on having this new engine in the car and running until this time next year but for anyone looking for some parts I'll be posting things for sale once the car is up for the winter and I can get parts off it (late October) b/c I'll be selling off a lot of the current combo. As far as the engine this is what I have decided to go with.
RNH Performance 408 Stroker with 10:5 compression
AFR 205 Heads
Edelbrock Victor 5.8 Intake
Accufab 75 MM TB (fox style set up)
Not sure on the cam but probably an FTI Custom
Kooks Long Tube Headers.
Corsa Exhaust
I'll be aiming for 420+ at the rear wheels which should be easily attainable according to Rick at RNH Performance. Its going to be an expensive project but also many of the supporting mods or parts on the car are already for a 351W so I will save money there. The goal will be to have it running by June 1st next year. Will be quite awhile before anything happens w/ this project b/c much if it will involve saving up money for the short block, heads, intake and supporting parts over the summer and winter but when the time is right I'll be sure to give updates with pictures.
