recommendations for a 351 build

[70torino429]

im looking for some recommendations on what would be a good streetable 351 build. only real requirements are to run on pump gas and id like to use iron heads. something over 300hp and 350+ ft lbs of torque would be ideal. a 393 stroker is also a consideration, so any recommendations on that would be appreciated as well. im looking to stick with using the gt40 intake, which i think will flow good enough.

just looking for ideas.

a 408 is also a possibility..

go 393. get some good gt40 heads then port 'em. a good cam and a nice free flowing exhaust and you'll be alright.

I built a 393 for my 94. I kept it rather mild, but the power is still impressive enough. I used E7TE heads, mild lunati rv grind cam, kept the compression down, right around 9:1. Full length headers and a small 4 barrell.

dart victor jr heads..

Jergen you got 3 different brand heads there all mixed up, Dart, Edelbrock, and World.. and they would all be upgrades over the stock heads.

300hp isn't hard at all with a 351, ported E7's, an HO cam and full exhaust is all that needed to exceed that mark. And if the motor doesn't make 400 ft/lbs TQ you really messed up. The better the heads are the more HP and TQ it'll make, there's nowhere to go but up.

Why do you have to tune a carb every time the weather changes?
