Re: how much power

whats a stroked 406?

a stock 700 will hold about 300 ft/lbs, aftermarket ones can be built to accommodate much more, expect to drop at least 2k, unless you can build it yourself and save on labor

Re: how much power

a 400 with an OVERBORE or .030 is a 406, no change in stroke.
