Stroker engine on ebay.


High Performance Ford 3.8 Mustang 4.3 V6 Stroker Engine | eBay
Would this be a good deal to swap in? It makes 280 horse and 290 ft lbs. I was just wondering if this is a sham or if it would be a true power house.

How would it be a wase? Just wonderin. Its the easiest way to get to the 300 mark. I dont have time to take it appart and build it, because I work off, and I dont have the money to trade it in for anything else that I would want.

Step 1: Buy a spare 3.8 block
Step 2: Bore thus block .030 over
Step 3: Buy forged 4.3 stroker kit
Step 4: Do headwork
Step 5: Cam it
Step 6: Boost!

^^^Steps for a more reliable v6 build

maybe just get this and pull it and go forged before you put f/i on it . Just my $.02 just keep your other block for a spare in case this one lets go or build up your other block as you get the money and time.

I plan on keeping it N/A, and like I said, I dont have the time to take everything apart and do all of that, and by the time you pay a shop to port and polish and bore and all of that it will cost way more than getting a new engine.

From what I hear those titan motors aren't that great but what you hear and what's true are usually two different things

have just spent the money I have on a N/A set up. Im just gonna say one thing. Buying a turbo + fuel system + exhaust + tune: on your stock motor, will probably be cheaper in the end. And you'll get ohhh idk 50hp more probably then a full N/A set up. Well depending on how much you wanna push that engine....

Trust me, i know this much. Im running a N/A 4.2. Its a waste of time to stay N/A ...

This motor sucks though. I dont want to go crazy with this thing. Thats 87 more horses than I have now, which is more than the stock gt of this year, and lighter.

I'd say save your money. if you have 2400 bucks to spend on that engine, put it off to the side, get your new DD in 3 years and you'll have much more money to go crazy on your car later on. Honestly, i've never spent more than 2000 bucks on a car, so spending 2400 on a motor that someone else built for you sounds like a no no to me. If anything, get a spare 3.8 block and do your own build. 2400 bucks you can build a more reliable and more powerful engine.

better way to spend ur money... go to a jy and grab a $500 5.0 and find a decent donor car for the remaining parts and do the swap = more bang for buck and 5.0 parts are dirt cheap with the new coyote motor out now.
