Bang for the Buck Thread

If you knew eventually the end goal was to have a stroked 408 with better heads roller rockers ext, do you still think the heads would make the most difference in the short time?

Yes. Because as it was said earlier, a well prepped & thought out 360 with excellent heads will kill a 408 with stock heads.

My budget will probably allow me to spend about 3000$ a year on car upgrades. So whatever I do to it, it will have to go a full driving season with just that.

The cylinder heads is the difference I would go in but I also see zero fault in doing the stroker short block first. It’s part of the goal. Any movement towards the goal is a home run.

The stroker will have a massive off the line or slow rolling low rpm get up and go feeling.
The 5.9 with cylinder heads and a (better) cam will deliver a great top end charge.

Search for part two of that video I posted above. They change the cam, give it TF heads, etc… IMO, it really is an excellent combo they came up with that is easily streetable.

Never mind, I had to go look for it myself.
Here ya go!
