Pete,

You can easily get 500+ horsepower from a 351 stroker and you are correct about using stock parts. The only thing the builder that built my motor used was a stock 1974 block. Then Great ASP came along and did the really trick things that I changed away from and I think his motor is around 575 horse. Originally I was going to have mine built for around 650 horse but changed my mind and caught them before they had ground the cam and done a lot of work. I told them I would rather have around 500-550 horse and changed to hydraulic lifters so I wouldn't have to keep messing with adjustments. I think Eric told me the builder told him that with a change of heads and a couple of other things his motor would go over 700 horse. It will be nice to see your car on the road and going. Good luck and may the Cobra Gods smile on you.

Ron
