Stroker Kit

[WishingBig]

I just read a thread about stroking a 5.0L to the 347. I see american muscle has the 347 kit ( http://www.americanmuscle.com/scatstroker-347-forged-7995.html )

Pretty much the thread i read it needs to have a harmonic balancer and matching flywheel. So I'm a total newbie but i love learning i don't know much about motors and trannies i can do your basic work; brakes, rotors, shocks etc.

Does anybody have a realistic price range for what it would cost? I know obviously i need to buy the kit. I would assume being a stroker kit i'll have to get some machine work done. I don't know the standard specs and when i try and find it all that comes up is the motor specs like hp and gas mileage 0-60 times.

Sorry if there a specific thread that answers this all if there is please redirect me so i have something to read later For reference i have the 5.0L AWD explorer.

Appreciate it.

How much is in your budget?

To complete this engine change you will also need

Larger fuel pump for larger injectors, better flowing intake, larger maf sensor, tuning, bigger cam, roller rocker arms, headers, and I have only opened the can of worms.

I would be surprised if you can do it all for under 5k.

Is this in the budget?

I had a Hughes flex plate and a custom harmonic balancer on mine.

Hmm, Guy at work said i'd be better off buying a wrecked 5.4 and trying to stuff it in the explorer. lol
