Oh 4 strokers arent in the budget but the d200 might be the perfect candidate for one. The arrow is going to be a daily driver so like you said stock rebuild with a cam is probably the way to go. The dart and CJ who knows. Sure is nice tha 5.9's are so cheap though.
Got that right - d200 with 375 & 500ft lbs. will be an awesome rig. I’d love to be cruisin’ around in a Dart or Jeep with that kind of grunt too. Imagine the fun!
