Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your response. I think I have put to rest the idea of a Ford crate engine. I thought I'd save a little time and effort but after some hard thought I decided to build an engine myself. I have built many a SBC but have been away from the Fords for a while. I rather enjoy learning about all the Ford tricks for making power. After chatting with 351-EM I decided to go with a 393 stroker. I probably won't get too carried away with the HP but if I get bored with it down the road there will always be room to increase it.

I ordered my Hurricane kit today - Chassis #HM1024. I can hardly wait to get it. In the mean time I'll be following your build on your website. It's great that you are documenting your build and sharing it on the web. I really enjoyed looking at the pics and reading your build journal. Keep up the good work.

Mike
