Is it me or are you running a 347 stroker instead of a 302 ( 5.0)

It's still a "5.0".

No, 302ci = 5.0L and 347ci = 5.7L. Go back to school.

Still is a 5.0L block. Which is the title of the thread. 347=5.686L. Not a 5.7 (if you want to get technical).

Ok, got back to school still. Have you seen anybody put 5.686L on the side of their truck? Nope, so round up to 5.7L.

It don't matter what the block started out as... It's been modified to to 347ci., so technically it's a 5.7L.

So basically we are all jealous of jtsmith.

BTW, I have had my 5.0L up to 110 before.

I know my sig is long, and I have 347 STROKER badge on side. Actually is 349.9 cu in, But who wants 350 on side of Ford . Now I'll remove some of my mods, so I can shorten my sig LOL

153 on the GPS. It was rock solid but too much trafic to go faster.

 

[Turdle]

now I'm jealous. Troll has big ball bearings

breakin 100mph

i drove my explorer to puerto vallarta for new years and on the way i took toll roads which are great in mexico, back to the subject i hit 115 and the computer would not let me do more. the only thing i've done is put an k&n filter and cat back 3" exhaust.

Throw some larger tires on there and you'll go even faster without your computer knowing. I run 265/70/15's and my buddies accord was doing 125 next to me.

I have an apten chip but haven't tried to go above my stock limit of 109. Tires were crappy and when I got them changed there was still a vibration. I recently took it to a garage near home and viola no more vibration. Good ol' boys sure know how to balance tires!! Now its burning oil whenever I get it above 3500 RPM. They can't find any evidence of oild leaking and its not coming out the tailpipe. Ughh...gonna get an F-250 Diesel next.

Ah, the good ol days--
Anybody still around?

Foo?

Almost certain I had my 100mph run documented in this thread from yesteryear.
