what combo would make a 5.0 able to reach 408? i dont know much about mustangs to know if it would take the cylinders being bored to thier max or not.

I got a guy that i am checking out his car to possibly trade. his post only said

351W stroked = 408ci ....not going to get there with a 302 base 5L!

Yup, 347 is as big as you are getting with a 302.....with a factory block.....more can be achieved on an aftermarket block

ok thanks, i will findout whats up then... He is supposed to be sending me all the info on it tomorrow and getting me some picts.

BTW is that tranny going to be enough to hold the power of that size motor with nos?

363 inches is as large as you can go on a stock block

his post should have said 5.8 L instead of 5.0

that makes it a 351 correct?

correct its a sb 351 bored and stroked, part of the windsor motor family. i would pull numbers and check to see if its a 351 and what year

Bansh-eman

i am waiting to hear back from him today. If in fact it is a sb 351, how much would be left on the cylinders bore to take them out to 408 with the stroke? My fear is getting cylinders that are on thier last leg and I dont know it because I am new to Mustangs.

well if hes already taken the 351 and stroked it to a 408 thats about the most it going to go. the really only way to check the motor would be a compression test. my Father in law as a 68 with a 408 and that things a beast, power wise its very nice, but the condition of the rings and what not would be how hard its been drove. if you get it just make sure it has a good cooling system
