5.7 swap questions?

billyboyd said

How much horse is you setup pushing? I want a high 11 second street car. What gear ratio are you running in your rearend? I am trying to lighten up my demon as much as possible, Im going with fiberglass bumpers, hood, and fenders. With these mods and a mild built engine, are 11s totally outta the question?

I'm pushing around 500 HP out of a stock displacement 5.7L. Your best bet is to stroke a 5.7 to 383 or a 6.1L to a 426. I have a heavy car with stock displacement, a big cam, and even the 5.7L heads have a large volume for a small motor. Basicly it is low on bottom end torque output so I need a high stahl converter. Not extremely street friendly but driveable and it was what I wanted. If you are around 3000lbs and have a stroked engine you won't need as much converter or cam and get a streetable combo that will run 11s. :toothy10:
