If it was me and I was to do it all over again, I would go the 302 Windsor based. Don't get me wrong, I love my 351W and it does everything I built it for BUT it doesn't wind up nearly as fast as my 289 or 302. It takes just a little more time than the 302 but then really comes on stronger a little higher. It has 392 HP with 420 Torque (perfect street motor!).That's just me, though. I like how it fills up the engine compartment and it does look meaner. But like others have stated, you will have to replace more than what you'll make up for with just stroking your current block. Here's the one you need: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT . I've seen this one in person and it's just amazing! If I had the money and means to do so... It runs on pump gas and makes just a crap load of power and torque! Can't beat who built it either. But then again, Ernie has rebuilt Dodge Nascar motors with over 810 HP for 1/2 of that ready to go too. Just a thought Regards, Matt
