You can hit 440 foot pounds & 450 bhp at 6000 rpm with a 351C, absolutely no need to buy a big crank with those power goals.
Here's a formula for you:
750 Holley
Edelbrock Air Gap intake
Trick Flow 2V heads
11.0:1 compression ratio
CompCams XE274 hydraulic flat lifter camshaft
result: 450 to 475 horsepower
Step up to an 850 Holley and pick up 5 more bhp
Step up to 1.8:1 ratio rocker arms for the intake valves and pick up 10 more bhp
Now you're just a nudge below 500 bhp. If you wanna grind a custom hydraulic roller cam we can put you over 500 bhp at 6000 rpm with a stock displacement motor.
