ANYONE ELSE WITH A 325 STROKER???

[$uperstang]

I just wanted to know if there is anyone else out there with a 325 stroker set up??? Maybe it was a rare kit?

it might just be that its a 331 kit but the block is the stock bore. I think the 331 assumes a .30 overbore.

 

[Kumm3]

stock bore would be a 327 then

No - the 332 (most call it a 331) is a 4.03" bore X 3.25" stroke. Without the overbore (4.00" X 3.25") you get 327 cubes as Kumm3 stated. The 325's are a 4.03" bore (.030" over) with a 3.18" stroker crank. Another guy posted here or on the Corral about having built one because he got a really good deal on the stroker kit -- seems like the stroker crank, 5.4" rods and forged pistons for around $900. Not sure where he sourced it; can't remember if the crank was forged or cast.

edit - in fact, maybe it was Superstang that posted....

3.18" stroke sounds like it might be an offset ground stock crank.

 

[Kumm3]

there was also a 317 kit that used to be offered, cannot recall who sold it, or if it was a stock bore or an overbore.......

 

[Michael Yount]

I seem to recall the post indicating he bought it all together as a stroker kit -- got the impression it was an aftermarket crank - but I'm simply not sure. What would a machine shop charge to offset grind a stocker? Wouldn't that require changes to the rods as well?

you can purchase the 325 kit through eagle, fully forged! It is acutally a really great kit. my machinest is running one

 

[Michael Yount]

That's the one....

Yeah Michael and friends it was me that you refer to up top!!! My kit consists of an Eagle 4340 Forged Crank, Eagle Forged H-beam Rods, and Forged SRP Pistons. I purchased the entire stroker kit as a "KIT" for $899 then I had it extrnally balanced for $200 so all together it cost me $1099 for a fully forged kit! I think it is a great deal. I just wanted to know if anyone else had one. You know I feel pretty good knowing that this is one of a kind or at least very rare. It's fun to tell people it is a 325 Stroker and see the look on their face.

hows it run?

hows it run?

Well I would love to be able to answer this question 100% but here is the problem. I live in crappy ass Michigan where there is snow. So unfortunately I don't know how it runs on the street but here is what I do know. I just got done building it with my brother-in law a few weeks ago and he has a 40X80 pole barn so we had some room to play . It sounds EXCELLENT and totally roasts the street tires I had on it!!! we played with dropping it to the floor in the pole barn and it just roasts the street tires we did this a few times until I went sideways and almost hit the lift forks!! Well that was enough of that. So unfortunatley I have to wait for spring time!!!!
