Heck yeah! Those are great numbers for a stock block. Pretty much all u can safely get out if it. She should run nice and strong.

Not a stock block . It's a world products 351 stroked to a 427 then a bore to 430ci. It needs better heads. But its what I can do at this time .

Well now that its over let me tell you about it. As you know 5 months at a shop to rebuild a motor for x amount. So new pistons where an extra and some things here and there not included in the rebuild. So it was an extra 2k above the price first given to me. So I'm not very happy about that . The HP # and the TQ is about 50 below what I wanted. Not happy about that . Car runs better than it did the first day I picked it up . It drives better it feels better. Very happy about that. I like saying this since I have a friends with v6 I get 21.5 Mpg on the highway happy about that . 430 ci happy about that. So all and all the not happys win. If you know anyone having work done in ky get with me and ill tell you who not to go to. They do good work but.
