What do you think the most HP someone should have for a street drive?

If you are going to go through an engine change you might as well just order a 514 from the Ford catalog. I think it has everything but a carb. Drop it in and you will have 650 HP. You wont have to deal with all that other crap.

By the way 500 hp is alot of power for a daily driver. I got about 500 with my 428 and i don't drive it except on weekends. It would be a real pain in the butt to drive everyday. It is alot of fun to have that much power but it is a very rough drive. You have to really stiffen your car up and it rattles everything htting bumps sucks bad. It really sucks bad to drive in the rain. i can't even count the number of times i spun out in the rain barley stepping on the gas. I suggest you get yourself some 500 dollar piece of $hit to drive around in then build your race car.
