Thread: 351w build

Tweet

I think I would go with a good stroker kit for the 351W. I've had a couple of the 408 ci strokers and they run very strong!!!! Hard to beat what you get in a stroker engine package if you go buying the parts individually. Last one I got was from Competition Products, all good stuff an made in the US even!!!!

Here's a link to a similar kit;

My brother has a 72 mustang and he pulled out the 289 and is in the process of building a 408 for it. So would I have to bore it .040? I think that's it right? What I am wondering is for my build what measurements should I have inside. Meaning like angle of plugs. Intake runners combustion chamber, exhaust valve, valve springs, max lift. My brother told me what sizes he is putting on his but I don't know what is best for me. I don't necesserally need exact measurements just ranges for different possibilities. He is building to put a supercharger and I am not so his build is going to be a lot different then mine.
