Hey guys, I am kind of looking into getting a 351 to slowly build. I would be looking for an older block and making it into a EFI roller block. If I were to have the right equipment, high flowing heads, intake, custom cam, everything necessary to have a high revving car, what kind of RPM's could a 351 handle on stock internals?

First off, why build a 351 slowly, I'm guessing over a long time, if you're going to use stock internals?

I'd only want 6800 out of my 351 based stroker when its done.

Because I dont have thousands of dollars to dump in at once, and I am on a TIGHT budget....makes sense. Id either be wait a year to save up enough for a good HCI or a year to save up enough to build the internals. I wouldn't never be able to wait 2 years for both.
