ok so I am really new to this but I have been reading and researching A LOT and I really want to start on this as soon as I get all my money together. Everyone I talk to about this tells me to have a goal or plan and I have a basic one. we will see what I find out So... I want to build a late 60's to mid 70's Ford with a carbeurated 351w. This is going to be a street car with very very occasional strip use. I want to be around 400-450 hp. (If possible for somewhat lower budget) and Im not sure what my budget is going to be as I am going to be doing this over time but I want this to be a lower budget build and not sacrifice quality with cheap parts. when I say lower budget i dont mean I want all cheap worthless parts, I mean I dont want the best of the best most expensive parts. What I am wondering is what kind of measurements and ratios also bore measurements do i need to meet to achieve this. also what kind of budget am I looking at to build the motor with these specs.
