ok like all my other posts im begining w/ im new and i don't know much lol. the more ive been researching i keep coming across 331 strokers. i found a kit online for 738. no im sure theres a lot more work/money involved so around what would i have to expect money and work wise to do this and also what kind of hp gains would i see w/ a set of trickflow tw heads, trickflow upper/lower intake manifold, bbk lt headers, bassani x pipe, 7mm tb. thanks guys

Where did you find a 331 kit for 738? Links please

And with all that your gonna run 3500 I imagine around that for all the assembly hidden little things and tuning

And HP Gains you should be right under 400 FLYWHEEL horse so you will double your horse power if your stock

Scat Ford Stroker Kits 302 to 331 from RPM Machines.

what all extras do i need to buy? and what all is involved work wise?

[Drick]

Block honing, Machinest labor hours. Just things like that also the cost to get it tuned once done

[Sleeper_Stang_89]

fordstrokers.com... Woody is top notch and can hook you up with a shortblock...

[Sleeper_Stang_89]

Most 331 and 347 kits cost relatively the same... y not more cubes?

[mustangsoldier]

yea im really wanting to build a stroker bad, but im a married soldier w/ 3 kids so as you can guess im on a pretty tight budget. i think i might pick up an extra block and make this a long term project.

[Sleeper_Stang_89]

that might be a good idea... or just play with your motor now...some boost? nitrous? doing stuff cheap will cost you mucho dollars in the end... do some research and make good decisions and take advice (from good sources) whenever you can get it... When I first started my stroker I was told...Cheap, Fast, Reliable...now pick two...

Just got the block back from the machine shop for th 347 were're building for a 67 Fairlane. $545 for a bore and hone, decking and line bore with magging. We will clearance the rotating assembly to the block in our shop and install the cam bearings etc. Alot of the time, if you don't have the tools and knowledge your better off in the long run to at least buy a pre-assembled short block (like from Woody). I enjoy the assembly and fit work and have all of the mics and bore gauges etc. Nothing quite like firing up a new stroker for the first time.

[mustangsoldier]

hey thanks for the link to woody's im looking at the liberator 331, good price at 1895. now my next ? would i be able to take the heads/intake/and exhuast im using on the 302and use it directly on the 331?

And thats! what I mean by extra costs lol. Most people dont think about how much it is to have machine work done on the block. Most people buy the roatating assembly then relize they cant afford the machine work to put it in

you can use them but if they are stock stuff... you will be short on power... In your first post this thread you said TW heads and TFS intake...get a cam and you'll be ready to rock...

[mustangsoldier]

OOPS lol i forgot to add that in there, im looking at the steeda #19 cam. whenever i do the swap to the 331 i plan on doing some extra work on the heads. what do you think ill be laying down hp wise w/ the 331 and that top end set up? i also plan to spray some.

[mustangsoldier]

haha i have to share this w/ you guys... im at work right now in iraq and some kid just came up to me and asked me why the hell would i want to build a mustang? imports are the way to go. i asked him what kind of car he has. he tells me he has an AE86 corrolla. original motor, no internal work, stock block and head, twin turbos w/ 44lbs of boost, "headers" and turbo muffler. i had to ask what his #s were. i was told 612 hp 231tq and a 8.76 1/4 mile lmao!!!! i had to tell him to get the fuck out of my office lol.
