Should I build a 351W?

[BadAndy]

Or just put some low compression pistons in a 302 and plop a kenne bell 2200 on it

Here is a Car Craft 351 build up...

thats true too...

Mine peaked out at 4200 I think....starts coming on at 3000.  If you hit peak at 3000 thats hella nut!  Thats more torquey than a stocker!

Thanks so far, guys!

@BadAndy: Well, a blower would be really nice, but my car has a historic registration here in Germany, so unfotunately, the engine bay has to look quite stock.

So the way to go is build a little nasty stealth engine, put on the original 69 valve covers and paint everything blue... so nobody becomes suspicious.

@Gravel: great link! just bookmarked.

I think combining this setup with the additional cubes of a 392 stroker kit should make even more torque at lower rpm, what do you think?

Low-end torque is measured at 3000 RPM? Please.

Uhh Ray, he said peak torque coming in around 3000.... If it is nearing peak at 3k then it has a pretty strong line below that...

I was referring to a previous post. One where the following statement was made:

This power was not gained at the expense of low rpm torque -- not with 377 ft.-lbs. of it available at three grand.
