426 wedge build

If you're gonna be making a short decked 426 stroker, you won't need much to make 425-450 horse. I'm in the initial stages of dropping a 383 in my Scamp, and I'm looking for about the same power, but without the extra cubes.

With the extra displacement you shouldn't have much trouble making good compression even with flat tops and you could easily make that power with a set of 906 or 452 heads...and if I'm not terribly mistaken there are a couple sets kicking around in the classifieds, unless they've already been spoken for. Those heads with a good valve job, and some blending, about a 225* @ 050 cam, an RPM intake, and a free-breathing exhaust and I'm sure you'd have a bruiser...just gotta match it all up with a good stall and correct gearing.

There a tons of good folks on here that can help you reach/exceed your goal.
