What is your 451 stroker combo?
Okay, the Stealth heads will limit the power that is for sure. So if you're using Stealth heads then maybe shoot for 450 to 500 hp on the dyno. Probably use a Performer RPM (if it fits under your hood) and something small like the Mopar .528 cam. I wouldn't buy the actual Mopar cam anymore since I think they charge a ton of money and the quality is probably sketchy at best but buy something in that neighborhood. Here is an article I did 20+ years ago:
Moparts on the Web - Main Index
I feel as though I have read that article before. LOL. Excellent bit of info, thanks! That is one thing I found odd is the engine builder prefers me to get the Torker intake. I would have thought he would want me to find a nice dual plane, since it is a street car.
My main points I told him are:
- Reliable
- Strong
- A good thump (I am a sucker for a nice idle)
I know going with a 451 or even one of the 440s mentioned in post #24 will get me to what I am happy with. As I do not want to put a cage in the car. I do plan to run scattershield for obvious reasons. I feel my current 440 would have gotten me there if it decide to sign up for early retirement and have transmission issues.

Now it is time for a proper combination to be built and have some fun.
