He's Baaaaack.

Anyway there is a website and I can't find the dang ol link now but it explained in detail how you could stroke the 281 to 310 but that was the extent.

There are power packages but they are pretty limited right now. You can get cams and pistons but heads are limited. But the aftermarket is beginning to come around.

yes..bore and stroke a 4.6, you will get 324CI (5.3L). Lot of engine builders start selling those stroked/forges package short blocks. VTEngines for example...

Don't quote me on this but I am almost positive that a certain shop in GA already has a motor exactly like that in progress

I mean someone working with VT engines building a 5.3 stroker with low compression and putting a KB on top....It is going to be insane. VT engines is getting around 400 TQ N/A with there stroker motor....then you put a KB on top of that with high boost

It's not a 324, it's just a little ol' 302. Add that to the KB blower and the results should be enjoyable.
