So I'm bored and thinking about going a bit "over the top"...currently have a Ford Racing alum 351/427 which was dyno'd at 575HP (understand that dynos are all different but this is what the print out that I have from the builder says) w/TKO600 in a BDR car. I want to put a nastier set up in it that is reliable. Besides the engine itself, what would I need to change to handle additional power? Half shafts? Rear? How much HP/torque can my current set up handle?

Been considering a Paxton type set up but do not have any real experience with anything besides a straight up motor with a carb. Maybe a big block would do it for me-I've owned a few BB's but not in a car this light.

What would the dream engine/drive line be for someone who like going fast in a straight line but also wants to be able to drive it a lot on the street? Using 40,000 as a budget ceiling.
