O.K., how's this for not bad. Bear in mind that I purchased an Indy Mustang 393w stroker and he sent it to me screwed up. I did get it fixed myself, but here's what I've got. 351W block, clearanced for a Scat 3.85" stroker crank, stock 351w rods, KB192 pistons (these are actually 289 pistons, but they work), Roush 200 cast iron heads with tiny bit of pocket porting, Comp cams 234/246 dur @ .050 and .541/.544 lift camshaft (nice lope), Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and Edelbrock 700cfm vacume secondary carb., side pipe mods by DV (nice sound), Edelbrock pro flo air cleaner (flows 1000cfm, no difference on dyno if removed). It's a fairly basic motor, drives nice, but has a lean spot off idle I'm having trouble getting rid of. 360 rwhp @ 6250 rpm, 400 lb ft rwtq between 3250 - 4750rpm (not exact, but a really nice flat torque curve, and hp curve is a linear rise. I think these are respectable numbers for such a basic motor. Heck, in thrid gear with just me in the car, the rear tires will break loose on their own. That's enough for me.
