Or just forgetting about the extra cubes and stick with a 8.2" deck

You'll keep the sleeper image, and alot of parts you already have by sticking to an 8.2 deck motor. And it will be plenty.

I was gonna go the 351 stroked route before I built the 331 I had and then searched for some 351 headers for the 94-95 body cars and Kooks was the only place, on top of the $1k price tag, they come in pieces and are not coated so there is another $300ish to have them Jet-hot coated.

I wonder if you could use these shorty swap headers for a fox on a sn95 if you weren't running the EGR system ....

BBK 351 swap headers

They would be restrictive for the strokers, but could be a cheaper alternative for a mild 351/357 than kooks.

you can use the shorties if you wanted to.

but like you said only on a stock style motor...and who wants one of those

Someone who wants a stronger block and a few cubes to spare
