    Casting Numbers for 5.0L Blocks

    I would install some of the valley reinforcement cross-straps instead or a stud gridle. Block is weak in the valley, not on the bottom end.

    350rwhp - 351W

    yeah 300+ rwtrq at 3,000 rpm is pretty damn fun. got 3.55 gears installed at same time. WOW what a difference from the stockers.

    350rwhp - 351W

    350rwhp and 363 rwtrq probably have 20-30rwhp waiting for me when I put on long tube headers and bigger TB/MAF Power band on engine dyno went to 6,000 rpm Choking at 425hp somewhere with current set-up ( probably the shorty headers) engine is good for dyno proven 465-475hp at 6,000rpm

    Vert Squeaks and Rattles

    mine squeeks and rattles too. just turn up the radio. +1 on better shocks and springs. make sure you get the correct matching pair. Talk to someone that knows what they're talking about like MaximumMotorSports and have them put a set together for you.

    Building a 347 stroker

    limiting power with those parts.......... need better cam at least. check out cam I used CompCams XFI 236HR-14 - "Ford stroker 5.0L EFI cam"

    My 331 Stroker build...your input please

    the heads, cam and TB you have choosen will choke the **** out of that engine. Will serioulsy limit your top end power. you could get 275rwhp with those parts on 302 get a cam with more durration get a bigger TB - 70-75mm get a bigger MAF 76mm min 331 will overload 19's and still...

    lightning 351

    you can convert them or use those real expensive linked lifters but a true from the factory (ie in a new car/truck ) roller cam block didnt come out till 94.

    lightning 351

    would be hard for a 93 model to have roller cam block since they didnt start making roller cam blocks until 94? food for thought............... roller cam block will have serial number that start in F4 or higher and you will see the holes in the valley to screw down the lifter hold down...

    tko 500 tranny fluid

    I use the Royal Purple Syncromesh fluid in TKO RP is the best. It's expensive, but why skimp on $20 on a $1,900 trans?

    best heads for a 351

    made 475hp on engine dyno with mine with AFR 185's and a cam VERY similar to the TFS 2 instead of TFS stg2, check out CompCams XFI 236HR-14 very happy with its results ( obvilously your using a 351W roller cam block? )

    347 Build Up Advice Needed

    1. I would keep the compression at 10:1, no more higher compression limits how much timing you can use and timing makes more power than compression. 2. If you dont ever want to add a blower or nitrous and keep rpms at 6,000 or less than a stock block will be fine. a. add a windage tray...

    Advice / opinions wanted for mild 5.8 EFI build

    Problem is all the 302 parts you already have those are some good 302 parts, putting them on a 351W still only yields 302 hp numbers ( ie. 240hp 351W vs. 225hp 302 )? The 351W is 100#'s heavier and has greater rotating mass. for that power level a 302 would respond better. If you've...
