Default 351w questions

I just got a 351w trying to figure out if it's roller or what not. Also, want to do a cheaper build stock bottom end maybe heads. Could I just use a stock upper intake or that wouldn't work to well? E9AE-6015-AA-9 is what is one the block. I'm think about putting a turbo on it eventually but not looking for crazy power just a reliable mild turbo 351w. Thanks I'm new to the forum.

If all you want is nothing crazy but just a reliable 351w then generally speaking, people don't go the turbo route.

You can get very decent power and anvil-like reliability for a whole lot less than it would cost to put a turbo setup on it.

youd want a ported gt40 intake, check out tmoss hes the guy

toss a 76 on there at say 10lbs or so that'll put you just under 500rwhp

heres all the info youll ever need to know

If you want reliability - especially with a cast rotating assembly - don't put any power adders on it. If you want more power that stock, rebuild the motor with a 393 or 408 stroker kit (cast instead of forged, to save money). Get a set of aluminum heads (I recommend AFR), 1.7 rockers, a TrickFlow intake and stage 2 or 3 cam, and you'll be pullin down 400hp at the rear wheels. And you will have a rock solid motor for less than the cost of adding a turbo to a stock engine.
