Hey Jack 21,
You make a LOT of informative sense---and it isn't just "common sense" either. What I'd like to know is your answers to a few questions:
1. Does SVO make an aluminum block for the 351W? If so, what would be the weight savings over an iron block? Would it be worth the extra expense of building one up?
2. I am planning to buy an SPF with a 351W; is the 406 ci stroker going to present problems with "streetability"? I intend to make it a "daily driver" in New England (except the winter months) and wonder if the 500-hp rendition of this sb (such as Hal Copple, Freddie Rice and Ron Davely have will be a "hard starter" or present me with reliability problems either structural in nature or in plain old running. Where I live on Cape Cod sees median winter temps in the mid 40's.
3. Taking the above intended use into conideration, is the 393 version more desirable?
Any comments would be gratefully welcomed.
Fred Douglass
