Also... being its a street car and a stick, build
torque forget about the HP... build all the torque
you can.. a bigger ci engine normally makes torque
at a lower rpm so you dont have to spin it hard and
if you have the torque you have plenty of gear for
the street... the stick helps also since you can take
off at any rpm you wish
Spot on in my opinion. You can't put too many cubes in a 400 block for me, so the 512 cube package, 4.25 stroke 4.375 bore is the best choice due to the extra torque you will have to work with. Easy 500 hp with those cubes and a set of Eddy RPM heads, a performer rpm intake and a 750 or 850 carb, which ever will build the best torque curve from 2,000 rpm to 5500 rpm. I am betting a set of 42 inch, 1 7/8headers will work about the best.
