Default Well I doubt I'll be racing it on the track.

I'll be doing a combination of highway cruising and blvd. light to light get up and go.. I heard as long as the 351 is not stroked to 427 it should be ok.. This Ford 392 stroker has 430 HP and 450 ft-lb torque. I definitely don't want a 500 HP + engine.. I want a engine that will give me hassle free miles and minimal tuning and mainteance. I'd like to only have to worry about basic maintenance once it's setup right.. oil changes, oil filter, spark plugs, timing, air/gas filters, etc.. I don't want to have to rebuild the damn thing every 12,000 miles.. or have oil leaking out the head gasket at 2,500 miles..
