Stroke it baby
I have built a new small block engine for my cobra. I started with a new 302 dart block with the 4.125 bore. Stroked it with a forged crank, rods and pistons. Solid roller cam, dart pro heads and an aussie made 8 throttle body efi system. I have a Motec M48 running the thing and i could not be happier with the engine.
It is very well behaved on the street, my wife actually drives and races it more than I do.
I had it on the dyno today for a check up and to tweak a few things, the engine had 410RWHP at 6500rpm and a torque curve that flatlined straight away at 350 Foot pounds. We can get more out of it but I don't really have to.
For the weight of the car the power is a little over the top, but I am sure I will get use to it.
For me you cannot beat a stroked 302 windsor.
