Well I got a 408windsor in my hands for a steal, my question is how much power am i lookin at making with a tfs stage 2, ported 351heads and a ported gt40intake with all supporting mods, I know these parts are not the best nor do I plan on keeping them I would just like to know a ball park number for now thanks.

first off if you talking about 351 w head unless there out of 69-70 there not much better ported then they are stock. gt40 intake not going todo you much good unless youhave it port matched. but a ball park for all that would be around 270rwhp-290rwhp (324bhp-348bhp -/+) i'd say im not sure theres to many varibles to you can have.

so what was a steal of a price, and like said above 351 heads are not any better unless they are 69-70's? and if they arent those years that cam is a way overkill

even so if they are 69-70 heads your only gaining 20-30 hp deppending on compression over stock which isn't all that great.

With those cubes a set of TFS R heads or TFS High ports will be more bang for your money. A custom cam from Camshaft Innovations(TLSR) and at least a Vic Jr. intake with large primary long tube headers is the way to go. My bet if you talk to Pro Systems on a carburetor you will be in the 950 HP area for that set up. It will be one heck of a handfull on the street too.
