If I have to go with a Windsor based motor, I would use an alloy 351 block, bored and stroked to 427CID, with AFD Cleveland heads....essentially a 427 Clevor! It is the motor of my dreams right now, but the torque possibilities with the 385 series excites me b/c of the huge displacement numbers present...no need for a mondo build, you can build "mild" and still melt the tires...or, if you can go light enough and hook up well enough, perhaps hold the front wheels off the ground for 1/8 mile?

Really like the alloy 385 block, but it sounds like mega-$$$$$

Cheers!
