Best Street Racing Engine.

My money would be on a FI 377, that is boosted.

Fairly high compression, 9.5:1, boost about 12lbs, and slight shot of N2O for its cooling, a fairly large I/C, and a fairly med range cam say 225/230 525/530 113 in that ballpark.

That is where I am going

If your trying to save money I would go with the 302. There are a million parts for it and there pretty cheap. It also seems pretty easy to work on even I can work on one. My buddy from work and I fixed the valve cover gasket on the drivers side yesterday and it seemed pretty easy.

700 hp for the street is ludicrous. There is no way your'e going to be able to drive it comfortably on the street. I would say that 500 horsepower is probly as fast as you'll want to make it, for street uses. This can be easily achieved with either the 302 or the 347. It is very possible to get 500 hp out of a 347 with only 5k. I would get a 302 however, and boost that shit till it screams. Nice, high revs. Forged internals, fuel pump, intake manifold, carb, and 12 lbs of boost should have you in the 500 hp neighborhood. All these plus basics like headers and exhaust would cost under 5k and have a shitload of power.

LOL!!! comfortably... must be a chevy guy

I"m more worried about gas and benging my frame then anything, I want enough power to pull 11-12 1/4 times. How much hp will i need for that?

I too concur.

BigDanTheMan,

Nice '71 Cuda' with the billboard strip. Did you know the guy that made the billboard strip kit, was pissed because he wanted to work on other aspects of the car, so he did that for a joke, and the Execs liked it

With those times you would need a cage and 5-point belts at any track so at that point put as much hp as you want cause the cage will stop uni-body twisting.

yo - i didn't know that, the rapid transit system had some wack paint jobs that seemed to work. god i love the 68-71 era of american muscle. That picture isn't the one i had, but mine was just like that. Numbers matched and everything, 1 of 17. That was before the cudas became popular with collectors. a 71 hemi convertible just went for a cool mill at an auction earlier this month. There are only 7 of those made, and i think 5 left standing.
