I will talk to my engine builder within the next two weeks about the advantages and tradeoffs of using the Dart. He is John Vermeerch of Total Performance in Clinton Township, MI. It is his shop that answers the "800" line for Ford Racing questions.
I told him that I wanted a very streetable, durable stroked 351W producing at least 480 torque and bhp. I also want it to run on 90 octane gas. I will get his opinion on using the Dart block and boring it to get the cid, staying reliable, streetable, etc.
Scottj, I like the idea of a shorter stroke. Specifically, I like the idea of a 427 engine. I will ask what the tradeoffs are in getting it. I will let you guys know what I decide, once I decide.
