Please help with my stroker build

I have a 69 mach 1 that Im currently restoring and want to rebuild the 351w in it. It runs now but seems tired and smokes after a while. I am planning to do a stroker but need help from the pro's and want it to be reliable for the weekend cruises. My q's:

1. Shold I but a stoker "kit" for this block or buy a shortblock already built?

2. Where's the best place to buy the kit or shortblock?

3. I plan on using AFR heads but which one's?

4. What cam size? I want it to be streetable.

5. 393 or 408 for reliability?

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Do you feel comfortable and enjoy doing the assembly yourself? If so then I would go with a stroker kit. If not go with a complete shortblock, they are mich easear to deal with and you might even be able to find one with a warranty. Coast high performance is a good place to start ( www.coasthigh.com ). If you want a nice reliable streetable motor I would go with some AFR 185's and a hydralic roller cam like the comp cams 284 HR or 290 HR. I have heard that 408's do fine with reliabilty but I would check with some other sorces to be sure.

If it's the correct 351w block in the car, I'd at least use that block, it's a more desirable starting point anyways.
