: Although, just for the sake of repeating what i've heard, they say you can't go above 407 in a 351W without sacrificing reliability. Anyone else heard this?
Yes, I have. Side loading is too extreme at that long a throw and you can't expect much over 50k miles without running into oil consumption problems. Ford offers a 392? stroker tha makes about 450hp from the crate and will easily do 550 with the right heads. that's plenty for a Mav.!
