My plan is to build probaly a real small stroker maybe just a 372 cubic inch engine. I don't need 416 to run in the 10's.
Its going to cost the same amount of money to build a 416 as it would to build the 372. The 416 would require less RPM to run the same ET as the smaller motor, therefore it would be easier on parts. For a bracket car, you're better off building the bigger engine and turning less RPM, its going to be easier on valve train and everything else.
My last engine was a 318 with a 4" crank = 390" it went 10.75@123 shifting at 6600RPM at 3500#, a similar engine in your car will go 10.0
