You seem to be really upset here and being that you have so may posts and I have so very few I can see the type of person you are by the comment you left. I have no reason to provide false information in this site, for some insecure reason you feel I do. I will no longer be returning to this site and I can anticipate two things: You will provide a comment explaining your joy for someone no longer on here providing "false" information, and second a moderator will remove this post. By the way I never said 347s "burn" oil. Only that the location of the wrist pin allowed for oil loss. So, please, see a professional, get on some type of psychotropic medication, read members posts s-l-o-w-e-r, and use some tact when you reply.

I don't care what type of person you think I am. I'm quick and to the point. You posted some bogus info, I called you on it and you are now packing up and going to a different playground. I see all kinds of this crap posted all over the internet and all it does is give other people false ideas and information.


Have a nice day.

I am thinking of stroking a 302 do you think I could put the 347 stroker kit on it or would I be better off with the 331? I have heard the 347 would put too much pressure on the block. Any thoughts from anyone?

You heard false information.

Either will work just fine, but remember to use appropriately sized heads, intake, cam, and exhaust to get the performance out of the additional cubes.

Anyone else think it's pretty stupid for this website to have a sticky about stroker engines with a link to a page where they tell you that 347's are oil burners and put too much side load on the cylinder walls?

Yes, considering that myth has been proved incorrect many times over. It may have been true in the 90's with the first 347's, but the engineering has improved since then and it's not really a valid argument anymore.

Sure, you can put 289 heads on a 347. They will physically bolt on but are far from ideal for 347 cubic inches. Ported or not, they are still a factory Ford cylinder head. This engine being "bad as hell" in your buddy's car is a matter of opinion. What did it run in the 1/4? If you think it was bad as hell with factory heads, you'd have an accident in your pants with a good set of aftermarket heads on it.[/QUOTE]

like you i have gotten my facts straight. i found out some stuff the guy told me was bs. but it was quick with 4: 56 gear. he didnt take it to the track. but he said that it should run a 12. but that was his car now its in mine. it quick but it will be better once i get my 4:10 gears in. i am going to put some afr's or something on come tax time i want to put aturbo on it but i have to lower the compession and do some other mods . and true that was my opinion. i thought it was at the time. lol gotten alittel older and wiser.

i wana stroke a 351w and was wondering adv/disadv to both.

Cubic inches, torque and horsepower. Why intentionally reduce your horsepower potential? Build a 418 if you are going to do a 351W. If there is any drawback it is the 393 because they take a bit more to balance.

[89foxbody5-0]

thats wat i figured. but generally the more you stroke the more high end power you loose right. you trade low end for high. i could be mistaken

Only if your heads can't keep up with the cubic inches.

It is called Cubic inches of Displacement. Which does make the rod length and the crank make all of the difference. The longer the stroke the more the CID's

I am going to build a 331 stroker and I think I am going to use this trick flow kit:

Trick Flow Specialties TFS-K514-350370B - Trick Flow® 350 HP Twisted Wedge® Top-End Engine Kits for Ford 5.0L - Kit/Combo Contents - SummitRacing.com

Any ideas on what size throttle body and injectors I should use?
I thought a 74mm throttle body and 32lb injectors would be good but I would like to hear about what other people have used.

And you can have the same displacement with different length rods which is what he was referring to.

No, the rod has nothing do do with cubic inches. Nothing at all. You can run a 5.315 rod with a 3.40 crank and 4.030 bore. You can also run a 5.40 rod with a 3.40 crank and 4.030. In either case you have 347 cubic inches. The rod length is different in both but the cubic inches are the same. The only things that effect cubic inches is bore and stroke. In the formula for calculating cubic inches you have pi, bore, stroke and number of cylinders. Rod legnth is not a factor which is why it does not exist in the formula.

this has helped me alot...my cylinders are bored 60 over...now time to stroke the crankshaft....if im reading correct i'll have a 355ci at the end of the day

[skatz420]

stroking basics: find a machine shop that will stroke your crankshaft. If they say they cannot, run away quick until you do.......

Very good information here. I am building a 418 stroker, and the machine shop here said that my motor would be a dog without a turbo or nitrous because of the heads having huge valves (2.150 x 1.60) are my heads really too big? I am going to go with all forged rotating equip, the Yates heads matched with the intake, I want to make it all roller, and not sure on cam size or carb or converter size yet? Any help in here?

That is ridiculous. I would not use that machine shop because they are idiots. Yates heads are good heads.
