[5.0Flareside]

[Truckin4life]

408 is also an option...

 

[5.0Flareside]

nah i gonna go with 393. i dont wanna go to big for a daily driver.

 

[F 150Cobra]

here is an idea... GO CARB.. swap trannies/computers with your girfriend..
and build the C6 and just GO CARB and have fun

 

[Truckin4life]

408 is DD friendly. Good torque building motor...

nah. i want overdrive. i had C6 with my 82 F100 w/ 302 that was built and i didnt like the crappy gas mileage even with 3.25 gears. and plus i want EFI and now im probably gonna go with a MAF swap and 30# injectors. along with a 393 stroker kit. im talkin to tony right now on what his kit is and how he had it done. probably gonna go the same route as him.

 

[Truckin4life]

alright, well let us know what you decide.

IIRC, the 393 requires extra work/ cash to get it balanced out right..

I'll try and find a post.

Hey Chris, you might also want to give TMI a call...he specializes in Ford engines and has been very helpful with my build.

Never mind looks like they fixed that issue AS long as its not a cheep china crank..

Did you see this one? http://www.fordstrokers.com/ford-st.../393-windsor-street-fighter-rotating-kit.html 393 kit for >1000

I had no balancing issues with my 393. I'm using an Eagle crank.

Keep in mind that I went carb'd. I'm not sure how my setup, even as mild as it is, would work with efi.
