haha my fingers r too big for this f*ckin key board

[Drgnracin72]

the big bore setups are the way to gow tih a modular motor, better power capabilties. it requires an aluminum block and MIT wet sleeves to get the bore out that big. its expensive but mkaes better power and will last longer than the strokers. and they will hold up to the same kind o boost the others will hold. but theyll make more power, becasue they have the potential to flow a lot more air

so a bored cobra motor will do it - im thinking of gettin a 95-98 cobra motor, also would the old lincoln mark engines do the same job - i noticed that they are transverly mounted - would i be better off with a 96-01 cobra motor (less hassle)?

[Drgnracin72]

the cobra motor ould be better, and yes you can do the wet sleeves on the cobra motor, but if your using 4v heads, there is no point at all

[MustangMatt96GT]

yeah i would say just buy an alumium block that is already wet sleeved to 3.700 or get an aluminum teskid block out of a 96-98 cobra and get it wet sleeved to 3.700 and use PI hand ported heads with custom cams! Right there with it still being streetable, 375 will be easily acchieveable. By boring it out, the heads are able to flow more air!

[camarosRgay]

what do u mean no point with 4v heads?

[MustangMatt96GT]

4V heads flow well already, you dont need to bore it out to get 375+ RWHP

[camarosRgay]

well yea but my goal is a hellva lot higher than that

[MustangMatt96GT]

well with a blower you can, but with out nitrous or a blower or tubo its nearly imposible on a stock displacement 2V

It takes less work to get more power from the 4V's.

[Drgnracin72]

like i said in the pm, if your sticking with the 4v dont even bother stroking or boring. if going wiht the 2v stroke it unless you can afford tohave the block done. its not cheap at all. your looking at over 3 grand just for for the sleeving, plus all the other internal stuff, plus getting the heads at the right port its pricey. just boost it and youll be fine. you dont even have to stroke or do anything with the 2v, you can still make the power, with strong internals and lots of boost

Cheaper, less work and easier than strokeing or boreing it.

[camarosRgay]

now what about stroking the 4v? without boring it - just a line hone ( i think thats what my builder said i would have to do) would it be better to stroke it (make more power with less boost)?

[camarosRgay]

i mean becausei have to have it machined anyway - and the stroker kit is the same price, i still have to put it all together - isnt it more bang for the buck?

[Drgnracin72]

i wouldnt do it, no need on the 4v, just do the line hone and be done with it

[camarosRgay]

i mean - is there a disadavantage doing that? I guess if the motor is worn though it might have to be bored to stroke it right?
also what about the 4v heads, new valves and springs?

[Eagle2000GT]

If you need the rotating assembly and the stroker kit is the same price, why wouldn't you get it? According to the comments here, it will give more low end torque and power. If you need the parts anyway that torque and power is free. The other mods come at an additional cost.

[Drgnracin72]

no need with the 4v, it has the flow potential to make up fro any stroke, and modulars allready have enough stroke. if your doing big cams, spirngs and the rest of the valve train are a must. your gonna need to do a line hone on all the bores before hand anyways but no reason to go beyond that extra couple thousandths. the stroker setup is nice and does give lower end torque but its not gonna be as dependable becuase the modular motor allready have enough stroke. no need for more.
