This a great thread, reminds me of some of the discussions back when I joined Moparts .

I've been thinking about a gen 3 stroker for my Dart for a while. I'd like to make around 650 hp on pump gas.

What year 6.1 engine should I look for? Would the 6.1 be a better base than a 5.7? Are you guys running stock lifters? Does anyone have a good proven (parts list) combo to work off of?
