4.6 strokers?

[DropTopPony]

chp make a steel 5.1 for 2400

you sure about that price? I looked into the CHP stroker shortblock and it was @ 3800 dollars. I think you'd be better off useing your stock block/crank for the basis for a 5.0 big bore. Your block is just as strong as a iron block and 80-85lbs lighter. Your crank is already forged so you'd save a few dollars and reuse that with the big bore kit.

Unless you have done some damage to your stock engine and thats why your looking for a new replacement.

A 4V is a different ball game. No machine shop or engine builder I have talked to will sleeve a 2V motor. 4V for sure they will. The best thing you can do is square off the motor. 3.75 stroke, 3.75 bore. With my 2V stock block no machine shop would do anything more than .030 over. Now that I have mine in it really hauls ass compared to a regular 4.6. If your going with an exotic block by all means, bore away. But as it sits, a 2V mod motor cannot be big bored, that's what i was saying. Not that you shouldn't do a big bore. Go with a Sean Hyland 370 Cubic inch block for $4000US if you want. If I had the cash, that's what I would have done.

I understand that and that is what the topic is about. I haven't been talking 2V you have. I am talking 4V's. So again for a 3rd time, how will the Big Bore on a 4v weaken the block and why is it not goot?

Also if you are recommended SHM engines or components, you really didn't do alot of research on this.

i though that if we added more stroke to the motor then that would make it more unstable do to teh piston being pulled down more and partially leaving the cylinder or something like that. i read it here on another thread. But as far as adding bore i dont see the problem if done within specs now if it is sleeved then you can go bigger with the bore.

Yup. There are a few strokers I would trust(VT, MPH, Boss330 Racing but I dont think he builds them) but a Big Bore is the way to go.

Really!! I've got a May 1985 edition Hot Rod Mag that says I can buy a 671 blower for $600

Some food for thought, how many knew that the 2V explorer block was aluminum? If you didn't, now you do. Some people should do some research before they post that the 2V block cannot have a Big-Bore done easily. You can buy a brand new 2V aluminum block from Ford Racing( M-6010-A46 ). The 4.6L iron block can also be bored to 3.7" but it is a lot more money to do compared an aluminum block.

I don't get why a BB would not benefit a 2V motor either. Using a complete 2V stock setup and just changing to a Big-Bore. The BB was worth 29 RWHP and 43 RWTQ over the stock displaced motor. Using a complete stock setup and just changing to a stroker block, the stock displaced motor made 28 more RWHP and 37 less RWTQ than the stroker. The only thing that changed was the blocks.
