my intake is custom... so its impossible to make it work on a 351 i think..I think his resistance to the 351 is hood clearance with the blower. I am confused a little as to how you took my last comments. I meant no stock crank in a dart block. No aftermarket crank in a stock block. Let you blower do the work in the stocker. Strokers actually make it harder on the block in high hp/tq situations.
Its "you're ".I kinda agree with mike on the blower thing, but the fact that you put soooo much time into this thing and want to use it says 'put together another 5.0 with good parts, nothing fancy or costly, no girdles or bras, they ain't gonna help when the block splits, just more stuff to pickup with a shovel when it pukes the guts out, stuff it in franky and enjoy the ride'.
you know the limit that your at, your not going to build a bigger blower to swap because your block is at its limit and you would have to design another intake,
You will be able to set fire to the tires pretty much anytime you want, move out into traffic with the ability to invoke envy upon the hordes of working class people as you motor by with your soft top down, wearing your pretentious hat and your finger in the air.
All this figures you use the dart/boss block money to put some brakes on franky, he's gonna need them
Know the limits, drive it accordingly.
It's not impossible. It's just a wider deck that you have to accommodate with spacers that are already on the narket.my intake is custom... so its impossible to make it work on a 351 i think..
If i use a stock block I want to use at least a set of forged rods.
Now you Know good and well that nobody here that has boost stays at the boost level that makes sense. Sooner or later 8 psi will become boring and you ( like everybody else) bumps up the power until sht breaksI am planning on making this the last rebuild.... with a monster 500hp engine the trans wont hold the brakes will be insufficient and the car will be extra scary and need a cage...... What i want to accomplish is a bulletproof over built engine in the 400-450hp range...
If i use a stock block and just upgrade the rods, i can afford heads.... If i do that i can pulley the blower down from 12psi to around 8psi and still make more power more efficiently. This would fall within the 2200 budget i have and meet my power goals.
Thoughts???
The blower has a limit of around 14psi max on a 302 based engine before the 6rib belt i run has a slipping issue... on a 347 its 8-10 psi max ect. ect....Now you Know good and well that nobody here that has boost stays at the boost level that makes sense. Sooner or later 8 psi will become boring and you ( like everybody else) bumps up the power until sht breaks
The displacement was if i saved money by reusing my pistons... I could build a 393 with a 9.5" deckI don't know, man. It seems like you've narrowed it to a 302 with rods or a stroked dart block. The difference is time and money, and that's it. You have to decide. If you want to spend the time and money on it, go with the dart. If you want more flexibility, to get it back on the road, and to leave yourself more flexible in the future, and to have the option of making that power indefinitely at a mere fraction of the cost, then go with the stocker. It's not 'overbuilt' at 450rwhp, but it's just about right. That's my vote, but if your mind it made up on "overbuilt," then you have the answer. The stocker is not... it 'might' fail, but fixing the failure is cheap and easy.
Regarding pulley size, aren't we talking about a positive displacement blower? So, same pulley size = lower boost and same amount of air, which = more hp, because it comes in at a lower temperature with denser air. I don't see the issue, and you're talking about a 347, anyways. So a 351 is not ruled out by the displacement argument.
i was like 'what?', Then I read it a couple times and got the point.Its "you're ".
