i've said it before, and i'll say it again. should go in my sig...
Good, Fast, Cheap, pick 2
good + cheap = not fast
fast + cheap = not good
fast + good = not cheap
if you try to put a 'cheap' 5.0 stroker and a 'cheap' t-5 in a car, you won't have good results. for one thing, a stroker motor is difficult to find, as they're all in cars or blown up. you really should get a block, reinforce it a bit, and use it as a basis to build a stroker motor, which won't be the slightest bit cheap. you're much better off finding a stock 5.0 and putting it in your car. and get the best transmission you can find for the money you can spend, the better shape it's in the happier you'll be.
i'm not sure what you meant by 'looked at a 7.5'. if you're referring to the rear end size, not a good idea, a 5.0 will break it.
if i sound like an asshole in this post, it's not intentional... i'm just telling it like i'm seeing it. good luck.

No such thing as a 342. 302, 306, 327, 331, 341, 347, ar the basics, then you get into .020, .040, .060 bores.

342 is a 347 crank (3.4" stroke) in a standard bore block.

yeah but who the hell uses a standard bore block, really? i'd say that most guys either use a stock block that's worn and needs boring, or an aftermarket block that they punch out for extra displacement.

How much power can a reinforced block handle. I wan't to put 400 or more to the ground.

I was thinking that a 4" bore and a 3.4" stroke measured out to a 341. Never heard of either being used though. Nothing wrong with slightly thicker cylinder walls though.
