Thanks for the ideas guys, I have been thinking about what to do with the cars for a while, and the stroked 351/efi 351 plan just jelled in my head a while back (one of those *slaps forhead* kinda moments)
As far as the stroked motor and the '66, I dont even think I'd be shooting for 9's (I'm not really interested in building a pure strip car, I want her to moderatly comfortable on the street) Do you think a middle of the road stroker 351 (i.e.393) would be too much for what I'm thinking about? How hard would mid 10's be to get with that combo without gutting the car?
Do you think the price would outweight the performance value of that goal? If so would a stroked 302 be a better option? (I like the durability aspect of the 351 idea tho. )

As for the 93, I want something that handles great, and is mild enough to be a daily driver, but I've also gotten a bit of a bug for road racing. The reason I like the turbo 351 idea is that you dont have to go too aggressive on the engine design , ie cam etc but it still has power on demand without sacrificing too much reliability. I like the 11's-12 goal. What sort of HP (assuming a streetable gear like 3.55/3.73) would be realistic for those numbers?

I have a sneaking suspicion that I have over estimated as to what kind of power I would need to make for the stated goals, But hey , I always "over engineer" things, just to be on the safe side

Thanks again for your help.
