ive been talking to a forumer about where i should get my motor rebuilt and he asked what sort of power im aiming at and i dont have a clue. this is the first car ive ever built.
so what would good power from a 308 stroked toa 327 for street use and the occasional trip to the drags.
i would love about 1000hp + but thats not really possible on my budget and i wouldnt be able to keep it on the road.
my budget is about $4500 and i want to keep the 327 everybody is going 355 or bigger strokers. ive got nothing against that i would just prefer to keep what ive got

with 4500 depends on if you already have the stroker kit or not. if not buying that will soak up a fair bit of the budget, machining,then you want to do head work and rollers,gaskets and bearings and all the other shit that goes with a rebuild.
i rebuilt my 308 12 years ago and it cost about 5 for a std stroke that put out about 300hp. i have nearly finished a sbc that should see 400hp that has soaked up 8k so far.(i stopped counting at 8 grand as the wife was getting upset). so for 4 and a half grand you should be looking at 300-350 hp maybe.if your paying to get it all done labour will kill your budget as i only get machining done and assemble myself. hope this helps you out.

later down the track you can upgrade the bottom end and a new cam to siute that if need be.
honnest reliable power out put with standard stroke will be 300-350 and stroker is going to be 330-400 plus depending on config.
main power aim will be dictated by cam/head package with the stroker boosting it over the stock stroke.
dont get too caught up in figures but more concentrate on what mods and COMBINATION suites your needs.

Add cam heads manifolds and carb and your about budget
Should be good for the HP your after (no-one gets 1000hp not even Howard....... he won't turn the NOS tap on)
Settle for around 300 and you'll be happy for now.
