Hmmm . . . VT sell the complete forged stroker 5.1 short block (bottom half of the engine) for $3995. Thats not too bad if you ask me. . . . A lot cheaper than i thought. Well my car has 100k on it so maybe at 150k or so ill rip that bottom end out of there and get a stroker and throw a 150 shot or a vortech or the like. . .

I was thinking about doing the same thing. My GT has 110000 on the ticker and i want more out of it. Are you going to do any head and intakework if you do this?

I already am doing Patriot stage 2 heads, VT stage 2 cams, PP typhoon manifold. So i have the top end already done. When the time comes ill just do the bottom end and hopefully i can get a good healthy 320 to 330 hp out of it.

Let me know how good them heads and cams work. I wanted to do the same set up. I just want a strong motor after that iam thinkig of putting a t56 trans in.

Yeah . . im thinking about a B&M auto when i do the motor swap. No way my POS T-45 is going to hold up to the 500ish rwhp id probably get from FI and N20.

I cant go auto. My cars already set up to handle and take the turns. I did that **** first cause a stock stang is **** in that dept. I had a bottle but i didnt want to kill my motor yet. Any idea on who makes the best pulleys? I need some.

id get a big bore before a stroker. most people have shown its not much of a jump in hp for the money

Very true. Big bore kit rapes a stroker.

Ben for the 14th time, NITROUS IS FORCED INDUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, ok? Get the forged shortblock, stroked or not is up to you.

How much is a 5.1 shortblock vs. a 4.6 shortblock?

I helped a good friend put a DSS stroker in, with Patriot stage 2 heads and was making about 310 to the wheels.

Mine is full forged 5.1L stroker. I paid $2000 for the internals, $175 balancing, $150 bore .020 over and block cleared for the stroker kit and $150 assembely. Thats $2475 for a stroked shortblock that is balanced with the flywheel and balancer. You wont get that by ordering a shortblock.
