A friends sleeper F-100

i wouldnt mind stuffing a healthy 347 stroker in a ranger. or built 350 in mid 80s s10. id probley build a chevy motor just beacuse there a little cheaper then a ford motor.

Possibly if this was the early ninties still... SBF stuff is cheap and easy now.

Out of the box stroker kits for a hair under a grand,Heads to stare at till you're stupid,Induction for years, But unless you got a Fox mustang header selection is kinda on the suck side.

Lots more GM stuff at swap meets and in classifieds around here... I am putting crap together for a 302 swap of my own and it is almost disgusting how lopsided it is.

Must be a horrible place to live.

Only teeth I'm kicking in is the mouth that was about to start spewing misinformation....Strokers don't make "magic power"..

"Uncle Puddpuller" Worked real hard on his "Vette in turd's clothing".

Whos Uncle Puddpuller who worked hard on his corvette with turds in his clothing are you talking about?

Hell, I started looking and I can't for the life of me see where in the hell there was a Family member reference in here!

I guess I was inspired?

Awesome truck! Is the 1/4 plate just for weight in the back or what? all this truck needs is tubbed with some big ole meats in the back! I'm totally digging the sleeper look. It's great to see peoples faces after they talk a bunch of smack about your ride and then you race em' and leave em in the dust.
I do it all the time in my pos looking piss yellow 87 fox body. I smoked this guy in his vette the other day, then asked me to pop the hood to see what I had hidden under there. He almost crapped his pants when he saw that it is just a four banger. Then he was really pissed when I told him I had less than $2500 into it.

I wish all of you retards that read a magazine and then think you know motors would just shut up!

Its a sleeper if. Its not running or maybe if your opponents wearing ear plugs. Badass motor though

I love the fact that I have a 1.3 liter Suzuki that destroys all those not smart enough to ask more questions. It's good for 300 a month in race winnings at least.

347cid making 500ft#? Yeah, in a NASCAR engine. All you have to have is $60,000 and you can slap a 500ft# 358 in your sleeper.

An 8.1 GM has 150 more cubes and a lot better volumetric efficiency, computer controlled combustion and makes only 450ft# (that's installed, not bare engine on a dyno). I'm all for toking on the crack pipe, but be real. Torque is all about volumetric efficiency. It's about how much air and fuel a cylinder can injest in a single cycle. If you aren't running a motor 7,000rpm then you aren't seeing the ram effects that let an engine over-perform its displacement. For us people that take off from an idle, we'll be lucky to see one ft# per cubic inch. You need an engine you use at 9,500rpm to make 500ft# from it. That air in the intake runners has to be moving super fast when the intake opens to hammer in enough air to burn the fuel for 500ft# on a small motor.

Or you need a turbocharger. A diesel that size has no problem making the 500ft# because it has the turbocharger.

For street engines, you NEED displacement to make big torque where we drive. A 350ish motor can make 500hp with the 350ft# a GREAT set of heads (not cast iron factory shit) will give it--but it has to spin. And 3.50 gears would be pathetic because they don't let it spin.

There's a big difference between a race engine--which would be useless on the street because there is no opportunity to get it into the revs it needs to be in, and a street engine which has to operate from idle-6,000. A 358" NASCAR engine would not be impressive in that truck because to get it going it would idle at 2,000rpm because the low rpm characteristics are so horrible it won't run below that. These engines last 600 miles and never see less that 7,000rpm during operation.

with about ten grand each i have 8 302's pushing 650 for horse and torque dyno sheets to prove and yes thats to the rear wheels they are in our dirt track cars and on a 347 you could crank that power way cheaper than you could a 302
