393 stroker ?'s
briefing:
I have a 351w out of a 95 f250. I plan on boring is .030 over and stroking it to a 393.
From what I gather, I'll be needing new5.0L .030 over pistons and a 3.85 stroke crank.
I plan onreusing my stock 351w rods.. does any one know if they are forged?
questions:
is there any way i can reuse the stock forged pistons frommy 92 5.0withmaybe using thicker rings? if so, wouldit be reliable?
after i strokeiti'll have toreuse the stock 351w heads (for the time being) i know they won't flow no where near as much as the 393 needs but this will be a daily driver and won't see anywhere over 3k rpms until i gather more funds to get a nice h/c/i combo.
any and all advice is greatly appreciated

RE: 393 stroker ?'s
if you just asked if you could use .030 rings on a std piston the answer is NO. but, you may be able to just hone the cylinders and reuse the stock pistons and std. sized rings (you can get file fit rings for an even better seal)

RE: 393 stroker ?'s
You can use your 5.0 pistons, the 351W rods are not forged on the older model 351W, don't know on the 95 model, pin diameter is the same just pin placement makes the 302 compatible with the 3.850 stroke and deck height.I assume they are flat-top with valve reliefs. There are lots of 5.0 modified heads about cheap, just have to drill out the headbolt holes as 351 are larger, no problem for DIY. Can get a
forged 408 kit rotating assembly for $1600.

fullauto I LMFAO on that rubber comment lol
From what I read the 408 isin't as reliable as a 393.. this is going to be a daily driver/weekend warrior.
Can't reuse the pistons aye... no biggie just thought i'd ask.
as for the heads, I'd hate to spend a few bucks here then spend more bucks later getting the heads I want, I'd rather just wait a little while then get the heads that best suits my needs, rather than buying to sets of heads spending extra money and then having the headache of trying to get rid of them later down the road
my last question.. if the 408 is reliable, what would I be looking atcoin wise for a 408 rotating assembly?
also, can i get a 408 on a .030 overbore on a 95 ford 351w block?

The difference in price in the cast crank 393 and 408 kits is $50. I'm not giving up 15ci for $50. Options are endless but prices are in my sig.

RE: 393 stroker ?'s
fullauto.. i don't mean to slander your post so don't take this offensively, but in all respects a forgedOTS 5.0 piston (.030 over) along with forged rods and a forged crank could be had for about how much?
also, won't a longer rod stroker kit change the rev limit?
