yes like said above www.fordsix.com can tell u everything u need to know about ur I6 but until u find those answers il answer a few questions u have here for performance parts go to www.classicinlines.com but no u cant stroke the I6's there isnt enough clearence between the cam and crank and if u look there is even reliefs cut in the cam so that the stock crank and cam dont hit
