What do you guys think about just stroking the 351 to 408? It’s going to cost way more money but I feel like it’s worth it. I’m thinking about doing the stroker kit with forge internals do I can put s turbo charger on it down the line and get some trick flow heads

A 408 with a turbo? Doesn't make practical sense to me since the 408 alone is enough for a 3,000 pound car IMO

Aftermarket block? That's a lot of stress even for a 351

I heard that the 351 block could handle around 700 hp but going closer to 1000hp could destroy the engine. I might just go 500-700hp instead since it’s not an aftermarket block

Would it be better to go with a stroker kit or just to bore over the block and run larger pistons? I am planning to run forged internals because it’s gling to be a boosted engine
