Questions

[cryodog1]

Im new to Mustangs and new here to this form. I have a stock 95 Mustang GT 5.0 and i wanted to stroke out my 302. What is the SAFE high end that i can stroke it out to? Not sure if 30 over is too much for my block or if i can even go 40 safely. My other question is which should i do for my car? Turbo or Supercharge? and why would either of them be better than the other?

Thanks for you help
Pete

I think you mean BORE. Dont go over .30...that will give you a 306. If you want more cubes you'll need a crank with a longer throw, longer rods and shorter pistons...A la stroker kit!


Welcome to :SNSign:

As for power adder...depends on your ultimate goals for your car...and your wallet!

alright, sorry for not being clear enough in my first post. I want to put a stroker kit on my 302. Is 347 too much or what? What do you all recommend?

Again...its what YOU want. Not what we want. If u dont know a lot, then search around on here, corral.net, hardcore50.com, turbomustangs.com, etc the resources are out there if u want to learn.


I think on late model 302's the absolute max u COULD go is .040" if u absolutely had to. But again, the bore size doesnt change the size all that much. Just get it punched out however far it needs to be to clean the walls up and go from there.

With a 302, people either go with a 306(which isnt a stroker), 331, and 347. I think there are other combinations u can do to get other sizes also. But it depends on what you want to do with the motor. If u go with a 347, then turbo or super charge it, that block will be walking on thin ice if it has a healthy h/c/i on top of it. How high do u want to rev it? Street car? Track? Weekend warrior? Power goals? Money? All this affects the situation. Ya cant just walk in and expect people to tell u how to build your car if u dont know how u want it to be in the first place.
