John has a 393 stroker and it hauls and that`s good enough for me plus it`s a light and compact package.

Small blocks rev alot faster, get into the power band sooner. Now don`t get me wrong, I love my big blocks but I`d never again knock a SMF after having a ride in John`s Mustang.
My dream would be a 351 stroked to 427, I think that`s the best of both worlds!
