[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 9791738, member: 27761"] to make room for the small stroke increase over the 4.6l, the 5.0l block has extended cylinder sleeves(so that the pistons aren't popping out of the bores). ford engineers have already said(in the 5.0 mag interview i believe) that the 4.6l cobra rods just barely fit without clearancing. the piston skirts are a little 'abreviated' as well, and just have enough clearance for the crankshaft counterweights. you could possibly get a custom crank made, but balancing might be a bit of an issue with lower profile counterweights(someone correct me if i'm wrong). even at that, you still won't be able to get much more stroke out of it.
