I think that will work Nice as hell and a great choice. If you really think about it, its not that expensive. By the time you buy a bare block, the stroker kit, machining, etc. you are talking the same price or in that area. I wish I had that much money for a block. I'm going to try to squeeze 600 from a 351W. Good luck 2 me!

you should be able to. Trust me I don't have the money. I'm still $7,000 in the hole after the turbo kit and the cruise I took my GF on for christmas. But I look at it as something that I "need" not want. Granted I do want it but it also comes down to needing it because if I don't get it my car will be un-operational with a cracked block. So it is justified.

I'm good a rationalizing why I "Need" more performance parts.

So if anybody has a gf or a wife that complains you spend too much money on your car. Let me know and I work you up a good excuse to why you "need" that piece. I charge $3 an excuse. ha ha ha.

I'm open for business.

I can't say much about my gf. She is the one that actually bought me the MSD 6BTM that I have. ha ha ha. SHe spoils me. My parents are really the ones that get on my case like you. They just don't get why I do it. Oh well some people have different hobbies and interests.
