Yeah, I think I'm looking into a stroker kit for the engine that's in the car now. I don't necessarily want to put the car out of commission while I get the work done, but then again I really don't want to have to try to sell off all the leftover parts if I get a new engine since I don't really have the space for a spare engine sitting around or the money to let it sit around. I saw one in another forum that was a 390 kit for right under $1500. Someone else mentioned a set of heads from IMM for $1300 or so. It's starting to sound pretty good to me price-wise. I would like to at least have 400 horse under the hood on engine alone for now, maybe throw a blower on top later for fun and the wow factor once I make some more money to try to pull 1/4 mile times down =P. What kind of numbers do you think I could get with a 390 stroker? Gotta have that nice lumpy idle to go with it, I don't really care for a sleeper too much at this point. The paint isn't going to turn any heads, so I'll make up for it with exhaust, lol.
