serious street power.

yah just to re-touch on it... money is few and far between... besides the
re-build,machine shop cost, future cam,bigger carb,possible torque converter & gears,and the rest of the cars needs....interior...and some other stuff.

So what im working on now is a solid street/strip short block....on a very serious budget...
I am planning on leaving everything else alone for now... even if it hurts power for a little...like gears...carb...and so on since it can be changed later because the only time i ever have money for the car is stuff like tax returns...bonuses... and so on. So i figured the motor needs to be freshened up and get new pistons... and i want to get more power out of it so i dont have to rip on the motor as hard to get high 12's in the 1/4 haha.

My eventual build in the future would be the following...
512 stroker. (440source probly) due to price.
440source heads (currently running) port job if money is there,
540 lift or so solid cam/roller rockers.
850 holley. same intake headers,and everything else.

I guess the general reason i posted this to the board was to see if since im going to be ripping into the shortblock now if throwing in a stroker kit which isnt much more then buying the pistons/rings/bearings machine cost seperate
considering the performance gain....
