Hello. Currently I own a 67 mustang (coupe) with a 289 / auto tranny. I'm ready to pull out the old engine for something bigger, but I'm not sure which direction I'd like to go.
1. This is not my daily driver (my 02 GT is...)
2. I would like to build something around the 480-540 hp range... ish...
3. This is a for-looks, for-fun, restomod.
4. I'd like to use an enderle injector / blower with this setup
5. I'm not rushing this. I'd like to do this from a longblock (maybe even a shortblock).
My current thinking is between a 351 stroker, a 427 or 428. I'm sure the motor mounts would need to be swapped with the big block, and most likely the tranny as well. What else? Are the plugs difficult to get to in the big block? Regular maintenance issues? Money IS an object, but it's just one factor. I don't want to spend 10k for a prebuilt motor.
Thanks!
