GT40 Destroyed. Repower.

Why not go out and buy a Block from a junkyard or a Short Block and get out the wrenches. Boring 030 and new pistons are cheap compared to a Crate.

Take that thing apart...everything on it and caliper....the bores look great...except for the obvious so the rest of the engine can save you a lot of money.

It's that cold in Dallas?

Good Luck,

i had a long block built at a local race shop for1600.00 or1800.00 cant remember exactly. but a short block would be even cheaper. couple hours pulling motor, wait a couple weeks for rebuild another couple hours reinstalling, no problem

A reconditioned 351 block with slightly more compression in the neighborhood of 9.5:1 or 10:1, a slightly more agressive cam profile, along with a massaging of those GT-40 heads, assuming they're not cracked, and you're at the 350 HP plateau. You may be closer to the $2500-3000 range with the new block and head work, but you should have the reliability you started out with the ProBoss. Since you have what is hopefully a standard rotation engine, the job of finding or ordering the desirable short block is significantly easier.

The idea of the stroker, especially the popular 392, will easily and reliably give you 350+ horses and the price is in the $3300+/- range and lower. But that doesn't include the teardown and re-installation. I still like that option, however, as you can have all the torque in the world and not turn over 48-5000 rpm, and everything interchanges.
