this spring me and my buddy are going to have a build off i'm going to build a351w and he is going to build a 350. the only rule is they must be n/a. he is going to buy the trick flow kit out of summit that claims it makes 500 hp with a vic jr intake and holley 750dp. my plan is to get a set of trick flow r series heads a vic jr intake a 750 dp carb and a custom cam. will the stock pistons work with them heads. about how much hp will it make? any other suggestions

why go with factory pistons? why not slip a 393 or 408 stroker into it. 500 ponies from a 350 seems a little steep with just heads and intake. after all a properly built 408 stroker in a 351w with afr 205 heads makes around the 550 to 575 mark. and thats with big block cubes in a small block package.

the tf kit comes with a cam, lifters and pushrods. after thinking about it i'm going with vic jr heads milled so i have a 58cc and boring the block 30 over the reason for not going with a stroker is im on a tight budget

why not look for a used set of afr 205's then you have lots of room to grow when you do have a budget.

The TFS R will eat the Vic. Jr. out of the box,they are also about $400 more though...

Also,you can use 302 pistons (yes,even stock 302 pistons) with the stock 351W rods and a "393" stroker crank (3.85" stroke) to make a 387.

Yep that is the cheap stroker and it works. Also if you are on a budget, go with the Vic Jr.'s they are best bang for your buck. Now one more thing what year block are you working with, and what cam you planning on. I hope you are ready to spin that thing.
