I don't care to remain stock. There is a reason manufacturers don't use the engines of 60 years ago today. I'm into building a rod and nothing else. Larger displacement, more horsepower, greater torque V8 all the way.
I struggle to get 300hp from my 350. My dodge truck has 385 from the factory. Detroit is wise to the fact that HP sells regardless of the 12 mpg I get.
