My requirements... what to build?

if i were to build a 318 i'd use the 390 stroker kit here https://www.hughesengines.com/Index...ciBLaXRz&level2=MzE4IHRvIDM5MA==&partid=25284

with the monar crank and h beam rods , I know expensive i just don't like Scat something about the name bothers me . besides I'm using a molnar crank and H beam rods really nice well made parts . A bit more $$ , what the hell performance ain't cheap . if price was the determining factor I'd drive a Chev or Ford
Is Hughes engines just reselling Parts more expensive with their name on them?
Just as a comparison to what you're saying I have a scat cast crank and scat I beam rods and I have tortured my motor for 5 plus years.. I basically broke it in for 20 minutes and put it on the trailer and drag raced with it and breaking mentioned 8 and 3/4 rear ends...
I think this guy's just looking for a street bruiser...
