not that i am aware of, you CAN make a 2.3 into a 2.5 iusing the small journal blocks (92&up) i do believe you can also use 5.7" chevy rods to increase the stroke a little but the amount you might gain would not be as cost effective as say a turbo upgrade or Head porting would be.quik87 said:i have found a 2.3l stroker kit but it says must have a 92' or later block. is there a stroker kit for a 86-87 2.3l turbo motor ????
thanks for any help.
quik87 said:as far as i know....stroking an engine increase torque. my 2.3l wouldn't mind having some more of it. are you saying it's not worth it?? or just a simple "why would you do it?"

351wEFI complete(locked up) $75 then sold the oil pan, exhaust manifolds, and motor mounts or $100 So I'm up $25.GTPhreak said:Explain...I need details

locked up roller 302 from 89 mustang. Free. Turned out to have .030 over TRW forged flat tops. All I needed was pistons and stock ones would work fine.
aftermarket crank with correct stroke. $275. so I'm at $250.
400M (has a cleveland style head, huge canted valves but needs cube to work on the street) Free. I'm adapting these heads to fit a 351w. and making an adapter to use a 351w intake.
quick overview....
351w w/ aftermarket crank, stock rods, stock 302 pistons, stock cleveland style heads. turns out to be a 393 cube 475hp all motor small block that has incredible torque.
I could have also turned the stock 400M crank down and use a Chrylser 6 cylinder rod and get 416 cubic inches. The cost of the machining was too close to the aftermarket crank.
sorry absolutely nothing to do with a 2.3.....um....but....I have them too.Pro-Hawk said:
GTPhreak said:ahh yeah i have heard of those kits that use the different stroke crank with 5.0 pistons...how much difference is there in in the compression height? how reliable is it? that way would be quite a bit cheaper than getting a 396 or 408 kit i would imagine
