I think roundman told me it was a stroked 351w with heads and all the goodies, he gave me the rundown a few weeks ago while it was in the building process but I can't remember exactly and if he got it finished.

Well I do know he's going the BB route...
or was it a stroked 351?
Don't know but he's not gonna be the slow old man he once was.

The new engine I'm having built is a bored and stroked 351 using a Dart Iron Eagle iron block with 4 bolts mains which will have 438 cubic inches total displacement. The rotating assembly will be all forged pieces and the compression will be about 12:1. It's going to have a mechanical roller cam and good heads with a Demon carb and should make about 550 HP or so at the crank. I'll know for sure soon as it's close to delivery time and it will be broken in and power dynoed prior to shipping. I hope to have it all ready to go by the time the track opens March 5 and I will keep you posted on the results. Now if I can just get rid of this damn cold.............[:@]
