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:

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.

I like the CHP kits, I have a freind that worked for them a while back, they were pretty knowledgable on the SBF, so i would consider there kit.

The e303 I got for cheap so I was just gonna throw it in there, and as far as heads and intake I was thinking about doing an edelbrock set up. Not really sure what would go good with the set up, this is my first build. And suspension I have brand new upper and lower control arms ready to go in and I'm going to get subframe connectors.
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

Esco90

Thanks, yeah I'm probably going to go with their kit

Find a nice pair of 185 heads. I really liked my Holly Systemax intake when I had it. Nice intake. That E303 is gonna kill it though.

What can would u suggest?

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?

Esco90

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

Also, for the heads do I want pedestal mount or stud mount? And I'm guessing for the rockers which ever I get (pedestal or stud mount) then the rockers go along with that?
