With all the parts you are going to have to replace anyways I would go stock block 408w.

[WildBill]

Whatever shop told you would need a 347 or 363 to accomplish your goals is smoking crack. I have a stock block 302 H/C/I car with a S-Trim (10-11#s of boost) that just made 470.3 at the wheels last week at Gearheads. Call Travis at gearheads. He'll make it work for ya

Ya ya ya......try to turn up the wick on that ticket and see what happens!

Talk to Woody at FordStrokers.com.

^^^this is what I would suggest as well. Woody will help you figure out exactly what you want/need.

If you are going to spend that much might as well go 408.

10-4

So, did you actually call or drive to the shop and talk to someone in person? Or did you just e-mail everyone and then assume they can't do it? Your asking for a combo that's been done 100s of times. It sounds like a communication problem to me.

Brian at Lonestar has done the same combo on a lot of fox cars, maby 25 over the years that makes right at 700 to the tires with a 331 motor and Victor Jr. heads out of the box using a Vortech with the stock computer.They even did one w/ a single turbo kit thet they built that made more than that. Hell, Will Mcds(Can't remember his screen name) car went a 5.90 with it 12 years ago and drove it everywhere. You might call (don't e-mail) Brian and ask him about it, it's a proven combo that works every time.

Talk to Woody at FordStrokers.com. I was going to get a 347 shortblock from him, and decided to build a 306 instead and spent as much.

Here's a link to about what you want.

Check my sig, My car make close to 650 with 14psi, My heads are the trick flow 195 cnc ported, they are factory ported. I had watts do my short block and I did the rest, with a blower you are looking at about 15k. I have a new ford racing boss block and have about 4500 into my short block. I don't even want to add up the rest to be honest. This is combo number 10 I get bored easily with it.

[bigshoe]

Ive seen 302s make 3 times the power you're wanting.

15k sounds about right for the parts you listed (new) and labor from a decent shop.

So glad I went the LSx route.....

[shumpertdavid]

call Daniel at Rusert Machine 432 684-7644

[Doug Hatton]

You can get that kind of power with a 302 h/c/i/boost setup....on a stock block.

Now, don't get me wrong, I want a Dart big bore 363, but I also want a about 800rwhp someday!

[Denny]

Well, if money isn't an issue, just put a Donovan block in it.
