I doubt the ac will fit with a 351?

I say this because while you can get by with no ac in florida you might as well already be in hell

I put a 351 into my 93 Ranger because I had a complete engine, I rebuilt it, converted it to Carb and Duraspark and it works fine. My truck was a former drag truck and had no heater box so I installed a Vintage Air street rod kit. It works fine except on cool rainy days because it has no outside air intake and the windshield is hard to keep clear.

yeah.....point taken....valid

I've read that the rod angle in a 347 is enough to cause piston scuff and shorten engine life, I'd build a 331(.030" overbore, 3.25" stroke) unless the budget allowed for a Ford Performance block that could handle a bigger bore.

gowdamn boy
thats not what i meant

60 over oem block should have a good sonic first.

what exactly is the goal? auto or manual trans? what style trans? something that gets alot of miles? stop/go or long cruise?

in the 600 hp range setting up the thrust loads for a manual trans on the stroker is key for longevity....the pressure plate for a clutch to hold power is a thing. that causes problems.


same level with an auto you will want a good converter that wont swell with the rpm...

4 speed manual all traffic as well as the strip

should we do 351
302
or something else if 351 how much stroke could i do with no grinding how much bore safely?

goal...13-12-11 second capacity? sounds like ya just want a rowdy brawler with a simple 4 speed.

what do you already have?

if you have the powertrain already putting the money into the stroker might be worthy.

to do a good stroker here, block prep and full blueprint balance is a 6 month wait and 1800-2 grand....a decent stroker kit is 2 grand and heads are 1500 and intake and carb 1500 with base ignition...

i cant build a good 450 hp windsor under 7g. blue print sells them turnkey for 8k...

hard not to buy a turnkey.
