Alright guys I am working on my 2nd build the dady build. I was looking for some kits and i notced a 5.0l kit for liek 1k so i was thinking seeing how i am going to the 5.0l can i just buy that and strok to that?

I'm not sure i understand what your getting. Are you asking if the stroker kit for the 4.6 mod motor will stroke you out to a 5.0? ( Yes, that's what it's for but you should spend the extra $700 and get a forged kit)

Or are you saying your getting a 5.0 and want to know if the stroker kit will replace the internals? ( NO)

rofl wow. Ok what you want is this here......
ModMax - 4.6 and 5.4 Modular Experts just bc you stroke your 4.6 to a 5.0 doesnt make it a "5.0" ford motor. They are 2 completely different types of motor. The true "5.0" or 302 is a pushrod motor where ours isnt. It has overhead cams and what not. So again if youre wanting to forge/forge your 4.6 you need what is in that link or something like it. Hope that helped

5.4 is usually a good idea because more displacement=goooooood. anyway the rods and pistons are the same crappy powdered stuff ford used in the mustang so theyre garbage but from my knowledge the cranks are VERY stout and i have been told that they can withstand like 700hp or some crazy number like that.

Naw man, just build your 4.6. You can get a strroker kit on ebay for the 4.6 that will stroke it to a 5.0. Or you could keep your stock stroke and get a set of fully forged internals for around 1200 minus a crank. If your gonna forge the rest you should spend the extra money on the crank though. You can use any crank from a 4.6 cobra. They all have a forged kellog crank.

Why go through the trouble and expense of an entirely different engine when you can get all the power you want out of yours.

i wouldnt suggest stroking the 4.6 at all....in fact if youre going to stroke it then you SHOULD go with a 5.4 because by stroking the 4.6 you take away the advantage the 4.6 has over the 5.4. the equilibrium of the stroke vs. the bore, by stroking the 4.6 to a 5.0 you in essence are taking away its ability to rev higher and whatnot which is the advantage the 4.6 has over the 5.4. 5.4>5.0 because more displacement=goooooood like i said before.


either stick with 4.6 or go 5.4. there shouldnt really be a middle ground there
