    IMHO, nothing beats cubes, go Stroker. I also think you need a nice number like 427 cid. Easy to work on and diagnose with the least amount of issues not to mention you can keep most of the parts you already have.

    A 413 can be done fairly easy also. For the long term Jay the short block is not going to take the power you want. At least build a forged short block get the heads done. With a converter you will be close to the blower cars.

    Yeah, my brothers car is a 408 forged motor and it puts down 502 rwhp through a Yank converter. In a manual car it would probably closer to 530 rwhp.

    I gotta figure out something to do to it paintwise. The cost of the motorwork will squash the holden conversion. And with two other IOMs in my area, one a V6, I need to stand apart, besides them just staying in my rear-view mirror (Jeff )

    There is nothing meaner than a nicely built 408. Well maybe a 427 or a LSX454 but you know what I mean. I had a friend with a C5 that had a 408 with AFR 225's and that thing was MEAN! It would eat up cars on the street.

    So in short, build Tigger a motor. It will make him very happy.

    Paint tiger stripes on it. If they were flat black I think it might look cool if it was a quality job. If you got the horsepower to back it up you can do what ever you want to your car.

    Do some black paint or a decal on the valley parts of the hood right before the scoops like the Camaro SS's do sometimes.
