Default RE: TFS Heads on a Stock Block

And with some better breathing heads, I'm guessing around 75-90 HP wouldn't be unrealistic. I really don't know for sure to be honest but I know that building the power of the 302 block is in better heads = no matter what cubic inches you are running.

And the gain is exponential with cubic inches so, that's why I'm wanting to start with a larger CI engine.

To be honest, if I knew anything about the history of a 351 block in a Wrecker yard here locally, I'd start with that.

I know where my car has been so it's a safe bet to spend my money on you know?

go grab one up, and fully rebuild it, hell just buy a stroker kit and that would make a 351 block good to go.
and then we're talking some serious cubes.
and if you dont wanna stroke a 351 you could just rebuild it straight up, rod, pistons, rings, a bit of machining.
but then you'd need to get them TW's ported up nice n good to get the 351 to breathe.
