I myself was thinking of a big block just a few weeks ago. I think it would sound really cool and be one heck of a ride. I then sank back down into reality and thought do I really want a 6mpg car that probably wont hook up until 4th gear......not really. From what I have researched a properly built stroked 385 series can make 750hp and 700+ torque. This amount of power is pretty awesome but I just think you would have one hell of a time getting it to not blow the tires off everytime you rolled into it. From the little seat time I have spent in mine a 6500rpm pull in 3rd gear gets you to 110-120mph and that's moving in one of these cars on the street. If you get under one of these cars and really look around it will scare you when you realized its a big fiberglass coffin lol. If you were to really crash one of these things you would be done. I actually laugh everytime I strap on my 5 point harness and look at the fire extinguisher.....its on the same level of WTF as when you put on a seatbelt and go 600mph in a Boeing 30,000 feet in the air. Take a ride in a car with a stroked Windsor or something that makes 500+ hp and see what you think. Whatever you do just make sure you buy one and don't sit on the sidelines thinking about it!
