I built mine piece by piece... shop arond and find the best deals on the best parts, you save a lot!

 

From what I understand Modmax used to have a stroker kit for the 5.4 to stroke it to 350 cubic inches. http://www.modmaxracing.com/

JMC

 

that is the kit I was thinking of

 

thank you guys for finding that because i was starting to get aggravated, i will definitely be buying this in the very near future. just emailed them on some prices for better upgrades for the stroker kit..thanks again

 

HI!... Just remember that any stroker kit on the 5.4 will be high maintenance and reducing the life of that engine drastically.

 

Amen to that! u got forged crank rods and pistons with rings for 650 bucks shipped

 

stroke it to much more u could change the pistons to a pre-cup design and make it a diesel!

 

thanks for the info guys.. Faster150, do you know for sure that it only costs that much for those parts.. if so is that the modmax website?.. also Neal when you say "high maintenance", could you be a little more specific for me.. i can tell you know a lot more than me about this so dont go hold'n back on me..thanks

also has a stroker kit

 

HI!... When you "STROKE" a engine your basically adding a longer connecting rod and stroke. This puts a lot more strain on the piston due to at the bottom of the stroke the rod is trying to push the piston sideways in the cylinder bore. This wears out the rings faster than on a normal engine. Eventually it will wear on the piston skirts as well. It's harder on the rod and main bearings too. "STROKER" kits are not for your daily driver usually. You can drive then everyday but it just puts more wear on the engine due to the above stated reasons. There are small stroker kits that do have a decent "ROD RATIO" and stay together for a long time. like the 351-W = 408 or the 302 = 347. But the 5.4 to 5.8 is not one of them. Guys usually stroke the engine for race purposes to get every last ounce of H.P/TQ. This is not your case. Just get some of the popular bolt-ons and like I said before get a set of STAGE II or STAGE III "P.I' heads with a custom set of cams and you will easily make 300-350RWH.P which is plenty of power for a daily driver.

 

thanks for the great info. Neal, you really seem to know what your talkin about. doesnt a stroker kit also make your motor to be able to handle more hp/ than not? do you know about how much hp/tq one can expect from getting a stroker kit.. the reason why is that im trying to build my motor more, cause i already have over 350 hp on the dyno, and i know i need better pistons, beams, rods, springs and all the good stuff. when im done with my truck it will be fully built, on the bottle.

 

Actually mine cost quite a bit more than that. I went with eagle rods, mahle pistons and mahle rings. I already had a fresh forged crank.

 

i was looking for the stroker kits and a guy emailed me back and gave me this info..does this seem a little steep or is it about right..price wise?? Our stroker kit comes with our 4.415" stroke billet crankshaft, Manley forged pistons (w/ coated skirts), Manley H-beam connecting rods, Manley file fit piston rings, Federal Mogul main & rod bearings. $3500

 

built if you dont mind..how much did your pistons, h-beam rods, bearings and rings cost.. because i think you said you already had a crank

 

nah i shopped around on various mustang forums and ebay found some good deals.
