331 stroker build questions?
Alright fellas, I'm looking into doing a 331 stroker build in my 1992 5.0 lx 5speed. The car right now is just a 302 with bolt ones (b-cam, cai, full exhaust, short throw, clutch etc). So basically what I'm looking for is any advice at all for this stroker build. I want to do it over winter.
I want to do the 331 stroker with nice set of heads, I have a e303 cam that's gonna go in, and a nice upper and lower. Just looking for a quick street car. So some questions that I have are...
- will I have to do any suspension work to handle the motor?
- will the trans hold the power?
- what are some good rotating assemblies for good prices?
- basically rebuilding the whole car bit by bit just looking for suggestions and some help
Thanks guys!!
Also I was looking at a 331kit from coast high performance, what do you think:
probe industries 331stroker kit from coast high performance.
It comes With:
Probe FPS Forged Pistons
Probe Cast Steel Crankshafts
Machined Beam Steel Rods
Moly Rings
CL77 Bearings

I'd ditch the E303 and go with a custom grind. That intake do you have? Heads in mind? For suspension, I'd at least go with upper and lower control arms, subframe connectors, and some torque box reinforcements. The T-5 should be ok for a while. Call up Jim at Ford Strokers, he'll hook you up.

Thanks for the input. What HCI set up do you think would be good? Not trying to go too crazy but I want some good power

Like already said DO NOT use the E cam....
302 parts make 302 power.....
Sell it and buy a cam for a 331....
What control arms did you get? Make sure you get full length subframe connectors. What is your actual intent for the car?

The control arms are upr I think, and intent for the car is basically just street use, maybe see the track a couple times.
