I like to drive and I like reliability and I like gobs of torque and hp. I've got it all with a Roush 427R. I do not think for a moment that Roush is the only way to go. it's just the way I chose for my own set of reasons. Keith Kraft, Eric at Performance Engineering and many more well respected engine builders could do just as well. One thing I am sure of, however, is that all of them would start with a Dart or similar beefed up block. You can not build a reliable 427 stroker from a stock 351 block. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
