Stroking an FE -- Questions!!

[blykins]

1. Depending on the money. Common combos are 484 or 496, but with the appearance of much longer strokes here lately, you can get over 500ci.

2. Money's the limit. How much do you want? I have a buddy with a 496 that made 760hp/680lb-ft.

3. No.

4. Carbs or FI?

#3 - for a wedge application, likely Blue thunder or Dove high risers, or Dove tunnel ports, but nobody makes weber style intake for these heads, so you need a custom ($) intake, compared to the MR heads.

#4 - Gene Berg makes 58mm, and now I think 62mm IDA style carbs that bolt onto a weber 48mm IDA intake. For a stroker engine, get the 58 or 62 mm carbs.
