Title: Stroker kit for 289.
Post by: 1MSTNG on December 28, 2007, 01:36:32 PM

Just wondering if any of you Ford lovers have had any experience in stroking a 289 to 347. My 289 is a sweet motor but I would like some more grunt, so, is stroking the 289 to 347 the;F and do you know anyone who is reliable to do this work or should I look for a good 351 Windsor.

well going the 347 will be a step up but if you really want the torque then go a 351w stroker you can then go over 400 cubes

Hey Hev,

Will that be on a chassis dyno installed, or an engine dyno?  Either way, when are you back on the road?
