Oh, another thing you want to think about, your oil pan. I don't know about Fords, but Dodge cars use center sump while vans use rear sump. The only performance oil pan I can get CANNOT be used for a stroker kit, so make sure you check on that before you commit to any engine configuration.

Mike, I see your point. I was just not sure if your engine came assembled or not. Just wanted to make sure I was comparing like engines/prices.
I would like to think you all for your input, It will give me something to think about before I start to plunk down the cash. I like to draw on as much input as I can from differnt sorces to help come up with what I'll run.
One thing is for sure, It's going to the track this summer no matter what it has in it!!!!

IDK.....
He was here for a while then quit posting. He started here as DeepSleep, later changed to Sledgehammer.
IIRC, he was building a street racer/stroker small block 3G Ford? Not exactly the best plan, money wise.....
Hurricane had the baddest Dodge on the planet. A real ground shaking Big Block/Big Inch Mopar! Straight axle/Gasser style hot rod. He was on here not long ago.
There was also a couple of mouse motor Chevy's (Machinist for one) runnin' in the 10's and even the high 9's on juice. Not on here anymore.


A lot of posters have come and gone. Some were vanners, some were just passin' though and some will be back.
The years roll by.
