Steve;

Using one of the many cubic inch calculators,it comes out to 358 cu. in....Mine is fairly "mild", I built it using the same specs as the Ford SVO crate motor advertised at 350 hp...

385 to 425 hp is not too hard to get,but you may lose some bottom end and driveability.... I am very pleased with my setup,get 23.5 mpg on the highway and still runs 12.90's in the quarter mile fully street legal with mufflers and street tires... In fact, before I got a trailer,I'd drive to the track (100 miles) race and then drive home in the car. Now I trailer it,just in case I brake something racing,but that's the only time it sees the trailer,to go racing...

My cam is fairly mild with lift at 484 and duration at 272,so it idles just fine at 700-800 rpms pulling 17 on the vacum gauge...

My next engine will be a 393 stroker with aluminum heads shooting for 475-500 hp. It will have after market rods and a lot of other goodies in it....
