I have a 65 Barracuda that has a mildly built up 360 installed in it. I am wanting to start a new engine build that will allow me to just swap the old 360 for the new 360. I want to build the new motors bottom end to be something I can build onto over the years (ALL FORGED). I have some plans of either doing turbo or torqstorm supercharger in the future. I have no experience building boost motors.
Is it possible to build the motor to run naturally aspirated for now, but have the rings gapped for future boost ?
Does stroking a motor affect its ability to accept boost? I am still looking at either buying a stroker kit or buying the pieces separate to get exactly what I want.
What is the ideal compression ratio to shoot for when running boost 8.5:1, 9.5:1, 10.5:1 ?
