Keith, how far (hp) can a late '80's 351 go? I got one from a Crown Vic cop car, E9AE. I know after '79 the blocks got lighter. My plans are to go 393 with AFR 185 (maybe the 205's?) and if not the Performer RPM cam, something close. Strong low end 400+ torque, and top out at 6000. When I get the itch for more power I'ma thinkin' a 100-150 shot on the simple side but would rather pick up the additional hp through a blower (centrifugal) with EFI. Or would it be better when that more power itch hits to start looking for an older or Sportsman block?
TIA
