The more I think about it (I can't work on the car as the garage is junked with with wife stuff at the moment) the more I think the 342 stroker I have isn't the best motor for the 40.
It will make a lot of power and torque, I'd estimate 425 hp and 400 lb/ft torque (11:1, AFR heads, good cam) but it might not be the best suited.
How high can one build a 302 block to go? 7500RPM? Or a destroked 351? Looks like one of these motor making in excess of 450 real hp would be a lot of fun.
Any thoughts? How much would it cost to build a serious bulletproof SB that can rev to the moon?
I don't mind so much on maybe not starting with the best choice, because I hope to have a Cobra in a few years and the 342 would be excellent for an FIA car. And it can easily be taken out of the 40.
