Progress Thread 351w build and swap

500 hp is pretty easily attainable with a stroked 351w build.
Like karthief said...budget ?

why no EFI I loves me some EFI...

BTW I too went the 351 stroker... welcome to the darkside..

393w

its a 393 bored to 4.03... I purchased an neutral balanced assembly with a 6.2 rod, this is ideal for rod to stroke ratio. the kit came balanced from scat.

I blacked out last night and woke up with this 351 block in the bed of my truck. I’ve always wanted to build an engine. Not sure if it’s getting stroked or not.

I have a 1989 mustang I’ll probably be pulling it in.

End goal is to have my car quicker than a brand new mustang gt. I only drive it on weekends and I’m thinking to ditch the EFI

If you ditch the efi,..make plans for the stoning that you'll get from the efi purists of the world here. For me nowadays, there'd be no way I'd plan to use a carburetor over fuel injection, especially considering the stuff I do. However,...if I was on a budget, didn't have a whole bunch of experience working on engines, and wanted to make things easier on myself....there'd be a carburetor in my future.

So because it was balanced, you just assemble it and need a zero balance fly wheel, correct?

you are correct

Its not easy to get 500rwhp out of a sbf with out a power adder and it wouldn't be anywhere near as refined as your competition.

better start writing some blank checks
