Ok, so long story short a bought a Ford Windsor book, and it show detailed buildups in the last chapter.
A guy by the name of Jim Dralle built a 302 into a 355 stroker ... not 331, not 347 .... 3 5 5 and i BELIEVE only went 30 over at most or kept it stock bore.
The goal was 500rwhp N/A... it hit 490hp, but i can't find any follow up on how the motor held up later in its life...??
I'm really interested in this and was wondering if anyone here has ever discussed it. and also if anyone has any detailed info on such a build or who could make a kit. ..On the net i don't find much info on mr. dralle, and the book was based in 1999.
There was a spread on it in the ?October 1996 issue of Super Fords magazine that became 5.0 magazine... but i can't find the article anywhere for an archive.
I think this would be a sweet build, especially to try with EFI and make the goals 500hp streetable and reliable!?? ...It's actually my plan if i can find enough info on this, and make it fairly cost effective. I've always wanted to do something N/A and push all the parts to there effective/reliable max w.o. going power adder. I think this would be the build to do it.
I would love some input from any of the rest of you, and if by chance you know someone to get in contact with!!... please let me know! btw, i found nothing about this in the searches here, ...has noone thought of more that 347 out of our 302s... 500 n/a based on a streetable 5.0 block... i think would be a NASTY SLEEPER!
