Budget 351w short block.

[91CoupeMike]

About to tear into this motor I got, it's an e3 block "from an 89 bronco".

Plan is to use the stock crank with h beam rods and flat tops.

Any suggestion on brand? Or helpful hints?

Prefer stock stroke on a cast crank, it'll be boosted, turbo won't know it's just a 357.

The fuck it wont.

I'd do the 396 if the money is there.

Use my stock 302 ho Pistons? Be okay for boost? 600+whp?

Pistons dont just fall apart. The guy behind the keyboard usually has something to do with it. Or with turbo cars the guy with the timing light

Yeah I know that, just wasn't for sure if they were worth upgrading. Since they're factory forged.

Mike,
What is the end game for the motor? N/A, N2o or boost?

Boost, why I'm not really worried about cubes. Max rpm 6-6300.

That doesn't make any sense.

[91CoupeMike]

I'm sorry.

Yea a bigger motor will require less boost to make the same power. I'm still limited to the block strength.

Why build a 408 turbo stroker that makes 750hp when a 351 can do the same?

Going to start out with a dinky top end but those parts are easily changed.

[Baron Von Crowder]

cause it makes it at 5500?

An extra 500rpm should hold out, lol.

I understand budgets, because I'm cheap, but a forged crank, rods and pistons in a stock 351 block will put down 1000hp, if you feed it enough. Adding cubes will get you torque down low, when you need it to tool around on the streets, and helps get a turbo going quicker, not to mention makes more power.

Other than money, I dont see a reason not to.
