Engine Power

I am getting confused...LOL All of these numbers 302, 318,340,360, 390...LOL I am learning though.

Well, as for cost, I was thinking I would spend about roughly $6000 up to $7000 on the car total. I am not sure what it cost to work on a mopar yet. I have about $13k in my Chevy c10 and it needs interior and paint still. It has more goodies on it than what I am planning with the Swinger.

My plan for the Swinger is a nice...not show quality paint/body job, keep stock interior (needs headliner and carpet), some wheels and tires, and get the drivetrain/powertrain where I want it.

I may be pushing the envelope with all that I want to do, but that is what I have in mind.

Bang for the buck: Using my 318 foundation what would be with most logical way for me to go with my motor knowing that I want atleast 350hp with 400hp being my high end. I will be happy anywhere between. Would it be a stroker motor?

I appreciate all of the help, sorry if you get tired of getting the same questions from us newbies. You guys will be seeing alot from me. Pics will come in about a week.
