351w horsepower

Are you really sure you want or need 500rwhp+ hp for the street?..In an early stang you are going to need lots of upgrades to live with that engine and make it safe to drive...I'm shooting for 500 flywheel hp for my 68..It would have been easy for me to make a lot more with my 408 by getting better heads but realistically I don't think I could ever use it..My local track rules require a roll cage at 11.49 and I have no plans of ever putting in a cage...On the street its gonna be next to impossible to hook up 500+ hp on street tires.....As for the engine I feel the total opposite of Is1badford...He likes a small wailing high rpm motor where I would rather make the same power with a lower revving bigger motor..If you really want over 500 rwhp I would take all the cubic inches you can get..
