ORIGINAL: USMCrebel

ok, i can live with 350-400. heres the setup i plan on tring to run when i get my 351 stang

351 stroked to 408 (forged)
holley 600-650
afr 205cc
i dont know much about cams, so i was planning on using a .500+ lift and 580 duration
high compression pistons
h beam rods
a dual planeweinand intake

any suggestions?
You will need more carb, i run a 750 on my 357 but i have big cam. You will def. want something in 550+ lift for cam. I would wait and build engine then see what size carb you need, it will depend alot on how many RPM you will be turning as well as everything else. A dual plane will help you with low end, but if this car will be seeing high rpm shifts i would go with single plane. I use a victor jr. I have forged I-beams and Diamond Racing Pistons, those pistons are pricey, Full sells stroker kits, ask him for his reccomadations.

A built C-4. They are affordable, easy to find and have tons of combinations.

Advantage - You can run the proper cam with standard roller lifters. No need to buy a poor RBC cam or expensive lifters.

Disadvantage - Considered the weakest of the production blocks. Cost more for the core.

Correct. Buy Comp link bar lifters and you're good.
