Here is R.Barns 358 he had

made 465-475hp on engine dyno w/ 1 3/4 longtubes and VicJr intake w/ 750 carb
it's now making about 370rwhp w/ TrickFlow EFI intake and installed in car with full accessories.

351W - bored .03 over ( 1994 true roller cam block )
forged pistons, stock rods, stock crank, ARP bolts and studs thru out
Ford Racing windage tray
AFR 185 heads @ 10.1 - 1 compression and upgraded 145# springs
CompCams XFI stroker roller cam 236HR-14 ( .579/.579 lift w/ 236/248 durration )
Engine was 0 decked and balanced to tight tolerances.

My point exactly. I have stock crank(3.5" stroke), stock rods, 205 dollar pistons and stock heads that are ported. No power adder and the car is carbed. It is run on the street all the time and is very streetable. Ask the deer that took out my lights on the driver side and also messing up a very clean paint job. I have never had it on a dyno but the car has been on the scales. 3250 and it runs 128 MPH. But most times all you hear is "can't be done" "or not streetable".

You can do anything if you have enough money. You will be hard pressed to get there with $5,000 and no mater what you do there will be a sacrifice on quality of ride. If you are looking for something unusual, I know where you can get your hands on a Nascar Nationwide 358 cubic inch engine with over 700hp. Its a lot less maintenance than you think and it likes to be beat on.
