So finally got the lift and wheels done so it's time for the smiles and power to turn those wheels. Looking into a 426 stroker. Nothing super radical. I plan to use a 6.4 truck block as my base with a forged higher compression 10.5-11:1 rotating assembly. I know the 6.4 uses the same heads from what I understand as my 5.7. What about accessories? I'd have a custom cam done and long tubes. Not looking for super high hp 450-5 to the wheels but be reliable and a lot of torque for towing and getting these heavy ass wheels moving. Could I get to this level stock heads? Maybe a set of ported heads? Want to get it done as cheap as possible but still be reliable. The rotating assembly is about 2500 machining I imagine will be close to or more than that. Plus the 6.4 block will put me closer to 7k I would imagine then tuning and headers. I'd say I'm in the realm of 10-12k with the cam? Is that realistic anyone built anything similar?
