377 questions - any info helpful

I am seriously considering de-stroking my engine to a 377. There is just something about being able to rev to 7500 rpm that I like. I need to know everything envolved in doing this. Does anyone make a good kit for this? What problems could I run into? Is it even possible to make a 377 a semi-streetable engine?

depends on what type of rear gear ratio you are willing to live with

but.. if your going to keep an auto trans.. I would not do it..
Too much rpm loss between shifts on any auto.
Keep it 400 and use the torque.
