i just purchased a 70's 360-390 block with a standard bore i would like to stroke it and possibly make 500 hp. i will be using a hydraulic roller and fuel inj either keeping my mass flo or dumping the mass air meter and using a red line computer with the 1000 cfm t body. what compression ratio would be better for the street 9.8 or 10.5? i would like to use the bb chevy rods but what would make a better engine the 3.98 stroke or the 4.125 and why?.
what hp can you make with out of the box edelbrock heads? what would numbers should i be looking at for cam shafts for duration and lift.
just looking for opinions and helpful ideas from people who done it already.
