Ok so I am not terribly knowledgeable about building an engine from aftermarket components. I figure somebody here has had some experience though.
I would like to know first and foremost. What block should I base this on? I want to go supercharged eventually. I have heard 302 supercharges interchange with the 351.. Is that true?
I want about 600 ponies at the crank. Im thinking either a 302 block stroked to a 347, or a 351 stroked to 408.
Next question.. The kits I am looking at have a stock re manufatured block and are from fordstrokers.com. I know a stock 302 is good for about 500hp (pushing it) and a 351 about 700hp. I want to be safe so should I invest in a nice street/race block from Dart or others.
I also want it to run on pump gas. what do you suggest for heads and pistons? Want to know if it will handle the supercharger well.
Also want to know your concerns about putting this in my 91. I know I will need new fuel pump, trans etc, but anything I am missing. My goal is to buy the block next summer and start from there so I just want to get things together in my head.
-Thanks all.
