88 Corvette engine questions.
Hello, I am thinking of buying a 88 Vette with engine issues. The engine needs rebuilding, and I was going to build a 383 stroker. I am looking to make 350-400 hp What kind of power will the stock heads and TPI manifold support? If they will not support that kind of power, what is the best way to go from there? Thanks, John

And good luck if you buy the car and replace the motor.
