George PAdmin.

In a max power question like yours, the downside shall be that the transmission cannot survive unlimited power. About 500 to 550 bhp is all the ZF will transmit before things start breaking under "racing" conditions.

Any cleveland headed (canted valve head) small block stroker in the 400 to 440 cube range has the potential to make "streetable" power in the 600+ bhp range. Streetable is in quotes because it means different things to different people. Fuel injection is the superior way to do fuel, a roller cam the superior way to control the valves. One of the alloy heads, such as the SVO heads (A3, B351, C302), the Yates heads (arguably not really a Cleveland head), the Brodix BF300 heads or the Blue Thunder heads will be your best starting point.

You do not want to build a motor like this using the production 351C or 351W blocks.

By the way, welcome back!
