    Well, the 302 just blew in my '70 mustang while the 351w was in the machine shop, so this build was meant to be. I have a 1969 351w (9.480 deck height) and had a heck of a time finding a kit that would work, and I think I managed to find one: 12360-PS-F408W - Ford 408W Reverse Dome -22.0cc...

    I have a '91 351W and want to build it up. I don't have a specific car in mind that I am going to drop it in. What are the ups, downs, and differences of a 393 stroker or a 408 stroker?

    Hi, i bought myself a 64 Galaxie 500XL with a 352 FE in it. Im considering building a SCAT 432 stroker for it, and wonder if i can bore and use my existing 352 block or have to buy a 390 block to fit the kit. The bore on the SCAT kits im looking at are 4.080 with the 4.125 stroke...

    Please help clarify for me. A friend gave me a "390" long block to strip and build my stroked 390 out of so I would not have to use my matching numbers block original to my '67. Upon dismantling it, I checked the stroke and bore and sure enough, it is a 352,(3.5" stroke, 4.00 bore) not a 390...

    hey guys. I currently have a 302 of an 85 mustang and a C4 transmission. I wanted to build a stroker and eventually put a supercharger with low boost on it so I was looking into having a 363 Dart block build from Fordstrokers but seeing the pricing it looks like I would be much better off...

    Hi ive read all that i could find on cam timing but its hard for me to see if it also makes a difference to my returning problem ..... I have a slight knock when i really floor it eigther down the track or when i pull a 3. gear burnout. After my own opinion ive build a pretty powerful engine...

    hey all might be a silly question. I currently have a 302 in my 69. was wondering if a 351w will fit in there, if not what would be involved in making it fit. I am wanting to do a stroker in the near future, just wasn't sure if I should stay with a 302 and spend the money to do a 363 or do...

    I need to refresh the 289 in my new 67 Ford Ranch Wagon (not running)and I'm curious if I'd be better served by a bigger engine. I could stroke the current block to 347ci, swap in a 390/410FE, 351W, or stroke the 351W to 393ci. I'm currently driving an 03 GMC Sierra extended cab with a 4.6 and...
