Engine Build Info

okay guys,

So winter is coming up in a couple months. I have a 1993 Ford F-250 with the 5.8L 351W in it. The truck is used around the farm for hauling (4.10's, 5 speed ZF, Posi Unit) HOWEVER I would like to build an engine for it this winter while I'm snowed in. I am interested in keeping the 351W, but would like to get into Stock, or Pro-Stock 4x4 pulling. My question is what would be the best route for building the engine for torque? I am looking at going with a bored over/ stroked engine somewhere around 427 c.i. Would like to retain some street ability for cruising and chasin' girls....any info, opinions, insight, advice, or reality checks would be great

Start with a budget in mind then make HP/Torque plans based on that. Do not forget about drive train improvements as well.
