Kinda curious...

2000Si · May 7th, 2007, 07:48 PM

Aside from the F150 crank and stroking out the engine to 4.2L. If you were to buy an aftermarket crank, rods and pistons, how much displacement could you safely get out of a 3.8L by stroking/boring it?

By safely, I mean max displacement without sacrificing drivability and dependability.

Yes it hurt as much as you thought it did and no you shouldn't try it again. Problem solved.

*Edit- I didn't see the post just the topic name and I jumped to conclusions. Gee that should be a board game or something.
