Another 1 for Icetoo

[ICETOO]

Thanks OZ and Philm.

Definitely some other options there and I am not averse to a stroker engine either (I have the 2.4 liter big bore stroker short motor in my XR4 with all the other goodies such as stage 2 cams, OS Vvs, extratcers, sports system, OS TB, CAIS, Cosworth intake and multiple tune maps,etc).

I have been led to believe that the 347 kit (ie using a 351 Cleveland crank cut down to 3.400" stroke and a 5.400" rods),can cause a bit more oil consumption noting that the gudgeon holes intersects with the oil ring grove (due to the shorter piston to diminish side loading and possible bore elongation when using the longer rod).

Has anyone had this experience or is it circuit myth?

That used to be the case, however these days you can get purpose kits that dont have those issues.

The 347 stroker performance is like light and day comparted to the stock 5ltr.
