A 351 Block is strong for about 650 HP Max, and Tuned, the internals about 400-450 to be pounding on.


Supercharging or Turbocharging is a great idea, and will put you ahead of pretty much anything on the street.

Woody at ford strokers said he has a few customers with 600 to 700 hp on some of the mex blocks but I'm sure 500 would stand up to them okay..you'd need a stroked one to get close to those numbers and some sort of power adder

Well thats what I want to do with my mexican block stroke it and then supercharger it but what displacemnt should I go to. 331 or 347. Which would be safer and safer to run a supercharger on?
