So, i wanted to find a stoker kit for my 89, and i dont know what brand and what they do exactly and how hard they are to instal. Can anyone just give me some tips and any info would be nice at this point..

theres probably a thousand of these posts on here but id start with woody at
FordStrokers.com 331-347-393-408-418-427 stroker kits and ford parts.

eagle or chp

go 347 dammit

Ok so about 1500 or so.... for either a 347 or 331. How much hp will that be a gain off?

well first off you can do it for probly 11 or 12 hundred as far as the kit.....second it wont be so much hp gain as torque

[White Thunder]

thats a short block....and hp depends on alot

about 1.5 more hp per cube

[1989Gt.]

Oh i see well how much torque i mean i see alot of people doing it thats why im asking lol im getting a explorer longblock and im gonna go through it and do somethings you know... and i was thinking about doing a stroker what do you think

[White Thunder]

do you know abotu the explorer long block?

That seems high to me. You're saying that taking a stock motor and punching it out to a 347, with no other mods, will put out 287hp at the crank?

[1989Gt.]

what about it?

[nolife]

A 347 stroker is an addition of cu inches but also more leverage or torque because the distance from the centerline of the crank to the rod journals is longer so in theory, it would produce more power than a 347 that was made out of a 302 with just a larger bore. So... I guess a stroker 347 would make more power per liter than a 302. Is my thinking wrong?

no because then your starving the engine....if you up grade to make it breath equal to the stock....well im not sure how to put it....a fully built 302 with 302 parts vs a fully buily 347 with 347 parts.....

I agree that a long stroke produces a torqueyer motor, but that doesn't mean that it will produce power more efficiently. For what you gain in torque, you're also adding in reciprocating mass, and you're causing the crank to have a larger polar inertia, both of which are going to hurt rpm.

THis is getting right to the edge of my engine knowledge though, so I should probably shut up before I put my foot in my mouth, hahaha.

lol well you got me beat buddy

[1989Gt.]

No i know that thats why i just wanna get the long block go through it and drop it in my car how much can stock internals hold before a stroker

Okay, that makes sense.

[White Thunder]

i dont think the explorers have stock forged stuff....so id be careful

[1989Gt.]

ok ill look into it thanks bud

[White Thunder]

yeah man
