[DeTomaso] stroker kit????

[mshortt at comcast.net]

I would agree with Chuck, given your RPM range, that's the way to go.  I have a 393 stroker, it has 550hp and 500 lbs. of torque, it's fun for around town and occassional track days.
It will do a mean burnout if you want to do that sorta thing, personally I would never visit 7,500 rpm's on a regular basis unless I just had lots of extra cash around.

These are some of the mods to my engine, still strong and loud!
