302 Stroker??

[vrt03cobra]

whats up guys, im currently looking to purchase a 302 stroker for my 03 cobra, was trying to get some suggestions on where i should purchase the short block from... A friend of mine just purchased a 302 from coast high performance (CHP) for 2900.00, but i havent seen or heard of too many people running their modular short blocks.. any suggestions would greatly help, as far as the car it currently has a 2.3 whipple :rockon:, that will still be used on the 302...

what do you guys think of modular power house(MPH)???

They are really really good. Better than Modular Performance. Since the company that built mine is no longer in business my top three would be:

Modular Power house
Boss330
MMR

You could not give me a CHP or a DSS engine for free. Damn thing would blow up so fast and you would have to go through the pain to replace the engine.

MPH uses another shop to build there motors I think. Tim Lynch's shop.

if im not mistaken just boring it over .30 wouldn't that just make it a 285?

That's correct, you have to have a stroker crank, rods, etc... to make a 302.

Yeah top 3 would be Modular Performance, MPH, and Al Papito of Boss 330 Racing.

I would caution against a stroker crank in a Ford mod motor. The added stroke to a 5 liter isn't that bad but these motor stroke is way long to begin with (the 5.4 is horrendous). Your adding 21 cubes which should equate to about 40 hp. Abbing more boost will achive the same thing and leave more piston skirt in the hole and allow you to rev higher. Having $3000 extra to spend on other mods isn't such a bad idea

Just a though
