Im planning on stroking out a 351w sometime in the next year, but im bouncing back and forth between a 393 or 427 build...

Where did you get your stroker kit?

go get an Fe block. Like an a 360 (352 block aswell) 390 i think 400 (theres 4 more FE blocks i think) to. They can do a pretty nice poor mans 427. Google poor mans 427

 

[surewhynot]

It's almost 30 below right now!


30 below 90.

The only thing is, If he already is running a Windsor, it will be cheaper and easier to stroke a windsor.

Maybe the lakeland mud bogs or something.

for some reason i thought he had a 302, the highest ive seen one of those was 347 but ive heard of bigger than that.

i had a 93 stang hatch back with a 5 speed a 347 its scooted. til my parents blew the timing chain and sold it for 700 bucks. traded a pop up camper for it, It was supposed to be my sweet 16 car.

Just thought id ask how the 393 is holding up? how many miles you got on it?

 

[surewhynot]

It has about 15K on it now. It's been great. Everything I wanted out of it. I would have done two things different though. I put an edelbrock rpm air gap intake on it. If I were to do it over again, I'd have gone with the regular performer intake. The larger plenum of the air gap intake made it harder to fine tune the carb. I also would have gotten a higher quality hei conversion dizzy. The electronics in the proform unit all failed before 10K miles.

^^^ this is a nice build Tony.

Strokers make so much power at low rpms its insane. The airgap was a bad choice due to the cams power band. That cam was designed for a 351...not a 393....You moved the rpm range down about 500rpm by gaining 42ci. Rather than making power 1000-5500 youre making it from 500-5000rpm where the rpm airgap intake wants 6500rpm.

Not a huge deal....Id just swap in a nastier cam to make use of the 6500rpm band....3000-3200 stall shifting at 6800 with a 7k limiter seems about right.


SUPER PIG!
