Default Re: '83 TBird Build

goodyear, great reply man!
Ive been looking into 347 strokers for a while now, but ive heard they dont handle turbo's well which makes sense.
I've been thinking of getting some turbo's off of a couple turbo coupes and makin my Thunderbird a TT Heritage. lol but if i go that route I want to find the most Cubic Inches that will give me the most muscle but still handle a Twin Turbo configuration well.
I want it to be more muscle than anything, so at least 350 HP of pure muscle before the turbo's are put on would be ideal. I was thinking bore it out to a 316? no special reason for 316 i just kinda came up with it and was pretty sure it would give me decent power along with the durability to handle the turbo's as well. But if theres still more cubic inches to be had from the block and still be able to handle the turbo's, what would it be??
Thanks again goodyear
