If you want bigger and stronger i suggest goin with a 351w block, drops right in, no hassle. Power would be 300+ how much money you want to put into it

If you have some extra cash, do a 351 stroker like the 427 ci monster shown here:

In order to better help you, we need to know some things about what you're looking for, etc. What type of budget are you looking at? What are your plans for the car (street, street/strip, autocross)? What do you consider to be good horsepower? Does it need to be emissions legal? Considering a power adder now, or in the future? There's tons of possibilities, and we may all have different views on what makes good power, how streetable a combo is, or what the cars should be used for, so we may all give you a different answer, and all of them could be the wrong one for your particular application.

well as for my budget would like to keep it under 8-9000. i will be using my car for street and strip with possibly a turbo in a couple of years. it does not have to be emissions legal(its not right now). i would like to have 300-400 horsepower. thanks

Go with a 306 (or higher if you want) with a vortech. The smaller CID motor will rev up a bit faster and add that with boost and u'll be set. Just get a nice set of heads, a better intake, and maybe a custom ground blower cam...if I'm not mistaken the stocker works well for boost tho. Change ur gears out to 3:73s....or if you want to make up more for low end u could go with 4:10s

After all supporting mods you should be at or around ur budget
