    408 Stroker Kit?

    Ok, so I plan on building a 408 stroker for my 91 GT, and I wanted to know what kit anyone would recommend. It needs to have forged rods and pistons, and still be affordable. What kits have you guys used & how's it worked out? I've looked at the Street Fighter kit, but I'm not sure how it...

    Speedo problems...

    Yes, but why would it only bounce under 50 mph? I pulled the VSS out and looked at the gear that presses on to it and that looks perfectly fine w/ no wear marks, is there another gear inside the tranny other than that one? Also, could it be that the actual speedo cluster is sticking under 50...

    Speedo problems...

    Alright, I have the classic "bouncing" speedo problem, where the speedometer jumps up and down extremely fast. So, i took the natural route and replaced the speedometer cable and lubed it up very well. Now, my speedometer does the same thing, but only under around 50 mph, over that speed it...

    408 compression ratio

    I'd say it also depends on how much boost you're planning to run, but 9.0:1 is as high as I'd run for compression, but then again, you might be able to get away with a little higher if you're only running 6 or so pounds of boost.

    hp loss?

    Here's something to think about, my buddy swapped the aod in the 160k mile fox lx 5.0 w/ a t-5 and picked up a full second in the quarter mile w/ a bone stock motor...

    What should I do with my engine?

    I think that the guy would have to be an idiot to put a 347 stroker kit in a 5.0 and not use forged pistons and internals, so I would say you would be safe there. What does the car run right now? You should take it to a track and get a baseline, then decide how fast you really want to run and...

    351w Power?

    Ya but the thing is, In a year or so, when I do have a decent budget to build the car, I'm going to go with some good heads, like trickflow track heat, and 30 lb injectors, some decent forged 9.5:1 pistons, and maybe even a stroker, or nos. Thats why i need go get some of my base items set up...

    351w Power?

    Well, you are right, I am on a budget, and the motor has already been rebuilt. It's got all new cam bearings, piston's have been rerung, and its been honed. I was thinking of swapping the f-cam thats in it w/ the trickflow stage 1 or 2, and i would later on down the road match it w/ the track...

    351w Power?

    I have got a 5.8/351w out of a 1996 F-350, which means that it's a roller block. The motor has stock heads, pistons, and crankshaft. It's also got the FMS F-cam. I wanna like to know what kind of power I can expect out of the motor with a Trick Flow R upper/lower intake, ported stock heads...

    351w or 5.8 fox swap info?

    My motor already has a brand new F-303 cam, so would the trick flow heads and AFR's both work well, or which ones would be more suited for the cam?

    351w or 5.8 fox swap info?

    So, which would be work the best with my application. The motor has the F-303 cam, which is 550's lift or something close, and what do you think of the trick flow track heat heads? because i have heard some good stuff from guys who have used those. I just want to keep a reliable 350 hp to the...

    351w or 5.8 fox swap info?

    Thanks for all your info, If anyone finds anything else on the topic, then just add on. I would also like to know if it's worth keeping the stock piston, and porting out the stock heads, or if I should dish out $1200 for some trick flow or AFR's for the 330 to 350 relyable hp to the wheels that...
