new to ford ?'s about my 377 stroker

[vector1]

clois is correct and that is some good advice, which i considered.

i had something similar in engine analyzer, so i put your specs in and came up with 439/443. if your compression was 10-1 it would be in the 457/465 area, for comparison. if you had a good 10-1 408ci you would be in the 550/550 area, but would cost bigger heads also.

I apreciate all the good advice guys, if this 377 is around 400 hp/tq I can live with that for awhile. I am going to talk to my machinist after the holiday and see what he says. I know that he has built a few side oilers and has a good handle on fords. Unfortunatly I have alot of cash to spend on other finishing parts (interior mostly) so it my be some time before I pull the trigger on installing the engine. I venture to say I will probably take the 377 & have the comp bumped up . I know I will be much happier and it will serve my heavy foot problem well.
