just bought an 88 coupe. im going carb with probably 17" wheels. i want it to be fast an the street around corners and the strip. i wanna do a stroked 351. this is going to be a budget car though and i thought about just doing a plain 351 with aluminum heads a good cam intake and carb. what are your thoughts as far as the motor is concerned. ive got friends with stock bottoms in thier 94's running 12s. ive gotta notchback thats getting a 351. no power adder by the way. should i go all out and do the stroker or just get a good 351 bottom and go from there?

I just bought a 90 coupe. I got a roller block out of a 95-97 F250(what i was told roller 351s cam in), flat top pistons, canfield heads. Will be buying an RPM Air Gap carb'd intake with a 750 up top, and an x cam. Going 351 is not considered "budget" though.
