I would chose something down in the 346-383 cid range, and buy it from one of the proven turbo LT/LS motor builders such as W2W, LPE, etc.

Turbo motors tend to like rpm's. Typically this means a short stroke/long rod motor. The LS/LT motors have proven to take a beating under big boost. The only problem is with a smaller cube motor a 101 will take a while to spool.

how about a 4.00-4.125" bore
and a 3.62-4.00" strock
Steve and Mike use a T94 (or is it a 98?) with a 404 cubed iron block, i think they are close to running 7's if there tranny would have held.
with there old stall and when they had a 382 in it they didnt have spool problems.
