You'll need deep pockets......

That is all

I kid I kid.

A 434 at the same power level of a high end 355 is MORE streetable. Increasing displacement offsets the negative effects of a camshaft that would be aggressive on the 355.

How much power/tq you planning to make in what powerband?
Assuming you're keeping the 700R4 what stall/gearing?
What fuel delivery?
What kind of forced induction?

Also describe the most powerful car you used alot (not drove twice).
