Right now we are in the imagineering stage. He has a 351W that has not been pulled down yet. A local shop that we have experiance with said about $750 to bore, hone, notch block for stroker, ect. At this point, we are thinking 408 cid. It will go into a 88 mustang. My thoughts are to build it to make as much low end torque and as wide a rpm range as possible. That is why I am thinking the 1.7 rocker may help to increase the area under the curve without going to so much durration that it hurts the low end torque.
So I am asking do you think building a new engine with a blank sheet of paper that 1.7 rockers are a good idea, both from a power and a reliability point of view. |
