You were right... that was a very good article. It is right in line with several discussions I've had with CP when they were putting together the plan for my custom pistons. See, most people get stuck on the rod:stroke ratio and side-loading when, at least to me, the most pertinent effect is the effect that increasing the stroke has on the compression height of the piston. This isn't a big deal with the n/a motors, but it's a huge deal with the very high powered boosted motors.90lxcoupe said:I read a couple good articles after this thread on rod to stroke ratio.
Jog my memory...? I can't think of any off the top of my head. I could probably guess a couple, but I'd rather hear what you have to say first.
Has anyone here ever seen a 351w fit under a stock hood with efi? I've got one on a stand I'd love to use, But I don't want to lose my stock hood. I've got some dropped motor mounts, but still don't think that would do it.

No.. it was my memory that needed jogging. I didn't realize that this discussion happened 4 years ago.

I dug this old thread up while looking for it, too: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/719569-302-stroker-information.html
I guess he liked the post I was thinking about.
I always wondered about long-rods vs. short rods... When I read this, I dismissed the necessity of long-rods in street motors:

you guys go on on an on about no replacement for displacement , 331/ 347 strokers , why dont you just go with a 351W an call it a day , give lrs a call they will sent you a complete 351W short block for a grand , sounds like a better deal to me. sorry just my opinion

Look up Novi357 on yellowbullet or corral. 8.80s, flat hood, 17'' drag radials. Its really not that hard with the right combination of parts
