TGJ said:What are they all doing to get an 80 HP gain? I don't like Strokers in a mod motor as it has too much stroke stock. Strokers gain low end power but above 3500 - 4000 RPM, a stock displaced motor will make more power than a stroker. I am saying that the stroker will lose power. The SC will like the extra displacement but IMO, a stroker is not the way I would go for more displacement. If you want to add displacement, the 5.0L( 304CI ) Big-Bore is the way to go.
BlueBossS197 said:from what i've been told through email communication, the bigger stroke itself gains around 40 and that was with your supplied block, no machining. but their block is machined 0.020 over and that purportedly gains another 30-40 hp. i'm really not sure. but hey, at least it gets me a substantial gain in hp plus adds a forged bottom end. plus i prefer the 3v head over the 4v head. maybe the heads can bolt on to the 5.0 block. if that's the case, then i will take that route. so long as ford racing offers a complete short block sans heads.
BlueBossS197 said:well, i was talking about the modular 5 liter. the modualr perf. stroker sounds like a good choice too. bringing up your argument is making me rethink some of my decisions. i'll still look into it. but like i said, i was wondering if the 3v head will fit on the 4v 5.0 liter mod motor.

BlueBossS197 said:darn! idk, i think i will go with the big bore block. of course, i really can't send in my block because the stang is just too fun and i couldn't stand being away from it for more than two weeks. so i will be purchasing their block instead. i'll probably either have a local machine shop install the motor or take it to dallas mustang.
