haven't really decided on hp wise i guess... i was wanting close to 500... but i don't want to push it lol.

I didn't think the crank would be able to support that much power?

 

stock block stroker and a turbo is a a ticking time bomb... the crank can take it but you will be better off buying a ford sportsman block. rated i belive to 700hp you want to be safe and do it right the first time other than play the trial and error game... a good h/c/i would help out alot

 

hmmm yeah, thats what i'm starting to think... damn it sucks having no money. lol

 

the sportsman is a little decent block

 

i just bought a boss block with a 331 eagle rotating assembly.... my little 308 is now retired cus i was knocking on 500s door at 485rwhp

 

just build up a 306 with a set of gt40's a good intake matching cam a quicktimeturbo kit and a good tune you will be maxxing out the stock block with that

 

i plan on getting trickflow heads... as for cam/intake i have no idea.

Would my stock block/bottom end be able to handle a turbo with h/c/i or would i just be asking for trouble? with the exception of new rings and pistons...

 

351 block ftw?

 

to be honest my stock bottom end handled 410rwhp untill i wasnt paying attention to the 87 octane gas i put in my car....finally relized what i did and there goes my head gaskets....

 

this is what i was gonna recommend.

351 would be a cheaper way of being "safe" at 500rwhp. but you better build up a C4 or something to go with ether engine choice.


if it where me, id just do the 306, gt40, intake, turbo running 11-15psi.

would be a beast.
