hey guys i got a mod motors but im tired of dumping money into it.now im looking at this 308 short block.what do yall think. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...QQcmdZViewItem im lokking to make around 400 on nitrous and put it in a coupe

308 isn't a stroker, it's just bored .040" over stock. Mine's a 306, bored .030" over. Personally I'd go with the least amount of boring to get the cyls clean and true. The more material left in the block the stronger they are.

Anyway, seems like a good price if they're legit and you can actually get it for $800.

sorry about the stroker im new to 5.0 but i asked him if i coul get it with forged pistons and if itll handle some hp and he said they had that made 405 without forged pistons.1100 shipped for a 308 and forged pistons to my door.sound good or pass it up

run aways as fast as you can from that....first the ad is a big lie as kieth black has never used those cheap as sivolite pistons.... they are a cheap rebuild piston and those 40 over block will run a lil hot....if your looking to get from point A to point B it would be ok

but on the bottom it sais upgrade keith blck forged pistons. im on a budlet so its kinda hard to pass it

vfast

if the price is right with the kb forged piston which are a great piston maybe but your getting a stock cam etc?..so if your looking for preformace out the box from this set up you will be greatly disappointed

but a 308 will make mor power than a stock 302 right?i was thinking the upgraded forged pistons heavy cam good intake and heads and a 75 shot i should be aroun 320ish write.do you think the cranck will hold

vfast

going .040 over is like 8-15hp..hardly worth anything

04gtmatt

so you dont think i can get 290 all motor.it isnt worth it or what.how do you only get 10 from a 310 and 60 - 80 on a 331

vfast

because the 331 has a longer stroke....the 310 just uses a larger piston to fill a larger hole.....
