How about two week ends from this week-end. Maybe I'll have my shop cleaned up enough by then. Well, actually you need the class as soon as possible. So I'm ready, really, anytime for the class. I don't need to prepare, just somethiing to draw on that everyone can see.:bigthumbsup:

Of course. I'll let you know when I figure out how to organize it.

Hey, I'm the one giving the class. I don't know about having Adam there. You know how he is.:rolling:











You know I'm just kidding Adam? Right? :p

Stroker
 
This is just for reference. I'm really hoping we can fix the 174 since it'll bang and potentially cost a lot less.

But my price on a fully forged, fully balanced 347 stroker is $1400.
4340 Crank
4032 FT Pistons
4340 H Beam Rods
CL-77 Bearings
Pro Moly Ring Set

They use this kit with pretty much the heads we have, a Victor Junior Style Intake, 750cfm carb, and moderate hydraulic cam to make 440bhp.

Plugs and Wires
 
I'm not taking anything for granted. Since these need to be bought, any concerns for plugs and wires. For example hot vs. cool plugs???

I promise not to hump anyone's leg this time.



Ben, why are you posting at 3am? Go to bed. And why are you building a new engine when you have a fully forged one sitting in your garage? You need to save your money for fiberglass materials for all of these one time molds that you want me to flash.

As for the spark plugs, get a recommendation from the head manufacturer and go one or two steps colder, depending on how crazy you want to go with the boost. Or if you want to run corn syrup, ask Cornfed what to buy.

If we go boost run Autolite 3923 if we go N/A run 3925 or 24. The 23's are 2 steps cooler then the 25's which are the stock replacement plug for a Mustang with a 5.0.

23 at minimum, if we pump it up 22 or even 21. I think I'm even running a 21 at this point.
