Hello guys new here and am looking for some advice
My friend is helping me slowly put together a stoker for my 2000 GT. After all is said and done the motor will be pushing about 410 HP, there in lays my problem, will the stock rear end and tranny hold that many ponies and once i upgrade it (moneys running short already in the 8 grand range) to a blower looking around 600-750 HP. So what would you guys think the stock tranny and rear end will take?

P.s i know everyone says why swap the engine over just forge the stock 4.6L 2V and from my experience the stock 4.6L 2V engines were very weak for a V8. I for one cannot see taking an engine that i believe to be cheaply built by ford and fixing it. I can build a much nicer engine that can go FAR beyond what the stock 4.6L 2V and handle it and then some (Plus i can custom paint it and it looks so much better than the ugly volcanic rock V8 i have now)

1) you do know when you stroke it, you're only adding a longer crank throw in the stock (or similar block) gt block?
2) what else are you running to make 400rwhp? because those kits really only add 15-20hp
3) might want to consider upgrading to 31 spine axles, diff and a set of gears(3.73 3.90 4.10 or 4.30)

What, you're putting a carbed pushrod motor into a 2000 GT? Have to say I cannot support that, but it's your car

You have been sorely misinformed about the 2v. If you go with those twisted wedge heads and build the motor right it can make as much HP as a 302. You just MAY be able to build the 302 cheaper.
