Start a new thread. This thread is not for horsepower questions, it is for stroker info.

Good info, I'm still debating on stroking a 302 or destroking a 351.. opinions?

[Dstang88]

back to he comments before about the rod length ..... it does matter because the better the ratio the means your motor works better together and you know what shit you have in your motor.... it also means more compression and hp's

Im wanting to stroke my 302 to a 347. Any suggestions on kits an what rod length use??? An will my top end work good w the extra cubic inches??

[Dstang88]

That depends on if your heads cam and intake feed it im sure the more radical you go the more its going to like it.... i also am looking to stroke mine if you find any good kits let me know or post them.

[96_5.0_Mustang]

well afr heads should feed it from what the engine shop says. an the intake is port matched an the cam is pretty radical as is. it lopes pretty good.

[96_5.0_Mustang]

rpmmachine.com has a all scat kit and is the cheapest ive found so far. what topend are you useing dstang88 and are you efi or carborated?

[Dstang88]

ill be using a gt40 or explorer and gt40 heads and an e cam is whats planned also gonna run spray and it is still efi...... im getting a cobra intake with the heads but i think the gt40 will work just as well and have a little bit more of a sleeper look to the non mustang peeps. and ya im sure your heads will flow plenty of air lol but everybody uses those im sure they work very well i just want to be a little different and i got a deal on my heads soooo.... why not !

sounds good

[Young Rand]

so which is better for a everyday driver 306,331 or 347?

[fastback lover]

That is some really good info. I have never thought about strokin an engine but now I am really going to have to reconsider for the car. Thank you guys.

It's not as easy as that.

You could build a 306 that is nice an docile on the street, or it could be an animal, same goes for the other combos. Street manners has more to with the heads, cam and intake. Generally, you will get the same HP level, but at a lower RPM, with more cubes.
