Why do you want a stroker? Are you planning a supercharger?

i would not stroke the 4.6.. the cost/power ratio on that mod sucks...

the reason for this is the 4.6 suffers from poor bore/stroke ratio already that will make it worse..

i would spend the money on a blower...

my stroker was only like an additional $400 on my forged shortblock, how can that not be worth it?

If you get it stroked get the heads ported also. so you take advantage of the extra displacement. A blower is also good on a stroked engine.


What would you rather have a 281 or a 302

If you want a cheap stroker, buy a 5.4L and swap that in. The 5.4 has the exact same bore size and uses the exact same piston as the 4.6.

Do a search on Modular Depot for "Big Bore" and "Stroker" for why you would be better going with a bigger bore over a stroker.

Basicilly though:

If you are looking for low-end power and torque, go with a STROKER!

If you are looking for high-end power, go with a BIG-BORE!


I would rather have a 302 BB!

A good thread from Modular Depot regarding "Stroker" VS "Big-Bore".
