The whole engine inc heads block and inj will come in at under 3K. The kit is a stroker kit to take it to 347 cu inch 5.7 ltr. It was left over from another engine that took a change in direction so really its being recycled.. It seemed a shame not to use it as its all forged and can stand up to 600hp and a 200hp shot of nos if I ever get that brave. The basic engine will be around 350/400 hp because the high advertised figures the yanks banter about with are referred to as happy dyno or magazine hp just to fool people. Like this,

If that was brought here and dynoed it would probably be around the 400/450 hp . The good thing about the stroker is the engine capacity+hp within the ultra light and compact small block ford. The 350 chev is bigger all round and 60+ kg heavier.

Stop taking the piss out of the plugs, when i had the toy shed refurbed I littered the walls withe three phase ,240 and 110 plugs because i got the dog with all the trailing leads. Its now just an area for my toys and its great. Will take some pickies
