Th 331ish size atroker is much better for longevity, any larger and you tend to have oiling problems.<br /><br /> If you can get your hands on one, the August 2001 5.0 MUSTANG magazine ran a great article comparing strokers from DSS, Central Coast, Anderson Motorsport atc... The article has dyno figs. combo choices and builder's notes.<br /><br /> I have dealt with Panhandle Performance in the past, & they have been great. Their website has lots of info on strokers and they have had great follow-up service.<br /><br /> Hope this helps & good luck!!!<br /><br />89 AOD LX, 13.2@105, on street tires, all motor combo by Panhandle Performance <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>macin95fiveo</b> <br /><small>Member # 786</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,11,20,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You can find that article from 5.0 magazine on their website at: <a href="http://www.50mustangandsuperfords.com/" target="_blank">http://www.50mustangandsuperfords.com/</a> , go to the "car tech" section and click on "tech articles" then go down to engine and click "see more" at the bottom <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>white slut</b> <br /><small>Member # 478</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,13,0,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Punkina5.nasty-as-all-hell builds 331 strokers.
