Pistons will not handle 600rwkw either; they were actually deformed when pulled out.The other problem is that stroking the motor makes matter WORSE, if what you are after is big power; in other words go a stroker if you want better mid range torque and faster spool-up, and not if you're chasing big power.

Sorry bcl, I didn't mean for him to talk to Simon specifically about your car but to speak to him with regards to his own rebuild thinking that Simon would have a broad base of knowledge already from working on your car, but not actually divulging the specific's of your car...Sorry for the misunderstanding...

What pistons and rings is bcl running?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, me too. Gonna buy a new block and crank and get an engine built locally. Probably just get the rods and pistons from Rocket Industries.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm interested in getting something built straight away if u want we should get 2 built at once then we might get a cheaper price on the rebuild. I can get all ford parts at cost I dunno how much discount thru rocket but I presume u should be able to get a reasonable price being in the industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will contemplate doing a new engine Feb/Mar next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
