408 Stroker Kit?

flamed 98 gt · January 23rd, 2008, 05:44 PM

Looking at going a little bigger then the stock 302. What would be a good kit. I have looked at Jegs and Summit they their kits are very nice. Would like some feed back from you all. It is in a 90 5.0 lx notch. Would like the set up to be for some boost (s/c).

408 stroker kits are for 351 engines.....

flamed 98 gt · January 23rd, 2008, 06:11 PM

You are correct.

408 Strokers are pretty badass man. Especially with forged internals. They withstand a lot of abuse. Although they are pretty heavy too.

flamed 98 gt · January 23rd, 2008, 06:13 PM

I am pretty sure they are the same as the 302 (weight that is). Going to go with a World Block (I think).

I thought that they were a little heavier. I could be wrong tho.

What else do you have done to your 97. What does it run in the 1/8??

Apparently Eagle makes a 408 stroker kit for the 302.

They are about 100 lbs heavier with internals than a 302. The world blocks are even heavier than that. But for sure the added power will offset the weight.

Anyway, why do you think you need a world block, you planning on more than 700 hp?

Here is a shortblock for you

That what you get for believing summit...lol

I find about 10 mistakes everytime I look for something there. Like yesterday I was looking at fuel pumps and they had an external EFI pump listed at flowing 325 gallons per hour... I was like yeah...went to the manufacturers website and it should have read 325 lbs of fuel per hour, which is like 54 gph.

I thought it would be cool.

Well here is some math for you...a 408 stroker uses a 4 inch stroke. Try putting that in a 8.2 inch deck height motor. (4 x 0.5) + (1.3 piston comp height) = 3.3, 8.2-3.3 = 4.9 inch rod required with an ultra small comp height piston.

your rod to stroke ratio would be 1.22...

Darrell, would that burn oil and break piston skirts?

You can put a 351 stroker kit in a 302

invisa stang · January 23rd, 2008, 08:45 PM

really

i thought that the only 302 block that can hold any more then 347ci was the boss block which can handle up to 363ci safely

Do it!
