I saw in an ad Street Rodder that Ford Racing has pushed their 302 stroker motors more, boosting the 347 out to 363ci using a 4.125" bore!! Now I'm not promoting that, as my 347 is big overkill for my needs, just mentioning what's out there now. I think they're advertising an added 50HP and 50ftlbs over their 347 crate.

I don't know Rog....Don't know if I'd be in favor of putting that long an arm and building that much torque in a thin old stock block Windsor....I had seen the 125 crank, think I'd be looking for an aftermarket block, at least a Dart SHP to start building that much power....
