Any thoughts about this engine? I was thinking of building a stroker similar to this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=33615&item=2442880691 ------------------ Ed S. 68 S-code FB GT 4spd(now C6)/3.25 PS PDB 68 J-code(now 289) Cp Sprint"B" C4/3L00-9" PDB PS AC 99 F150 XLT Ext/cab, 4X4, 5.4L, 3L55 03 Winstar Limited with the works!

Well he's not giving it away. And 460HP is pushing it with that combo. Those heads are tiny (TW, 170cc ports) and you would need to twist it up in RPM. What crank? The pistons are hypereutectic which are very "stock"It appears to be just a 351W from the post -- not a stroker.

Was thinking of using all of the Trick Flow stuff that Summit had listed or maybe using the engine as a basic plan and beefing it up internally but using different heads and a cam that would work good with a RPM intake. It would be a street engine that will see some time at the track.

Hmm! I must have gotten caught up with the pretty picture! I thought it had the Trick Flow 393 crank and pistons. It must have been something else or maybe I thought it was the Ford stroker short block?

It might have been that one but I thought I saw 393 or 392 somewhere. I still have to figure out if I should go with a newer block or use the 70 blocks I have. If I use a 94-97 block, it?s roller cam compatible and I think some of the 97-? ton (old body style) pickups has rollers in them. I think the roller compatible block prt number starts with F4TE or something like that. [This message has been edited by 68 S-code GT (edited 11-20-2003).]
