About those MCs and boosters. . . ABS and non-ABS aero vics used 2 different booster and MC combos which are incompatible with one another. Sounds like one is backwards compatible and the other isn't. From Ford, my ABS MC was painted black. When I pulled a non-ABS unit that I later found to be incompatible, it was silver and, IIRC aluminum as opposed to my iron MC.

well guys, its been a while again, but i have some good news! the engine is going to be a 347 stroker, i'm still doing the 5 speed swap and going with a carb setup, most likely a holley demon 770, that should make this big boat boogie! i'm uploading pics of the block, will post a link soon! i hope all is well in merc town!

a few pics of when i was putting the stock crank in, then decided that for what it would cost to get new rods and pistons because the ones i got for free were no good, i decided to go with a stroker kit instead

Nice!!!
Might as well get the most out of that 5.0L What are you using for heads? In any event, it looks like you're building a nice cruiser. Can't wait to see it finished.

Looking good man.
What cam are you running?
I wouldn't be putting any stock Ford heads on there, no way. AFR 205s

not sure on the head selection yet, i want to get the whole bottom end buttoned up first. all thats left after the stroker kit is oil pump, oil pan, timing chain and front cover, as for the cam i'm still not quite positive on what i'm going to do there, still doing some research, i've never built an engine from the ground up before so i want to make sure everything matches and i get a nice linear output graph in terms of hp/tq, i'm hoping for close to 400/400 at the crank but like i said i never built an engine before so i don't know if thats even possible on what i'm building! i do plan on going with electric fans and remote electric fuel pump so i'll save a few ponies there.

With 347 CID and the right heads/cam you could do that.
www.sbftech.com is a great website (if you don't know about it already) and you would be able to find lots of info about making power over there.sigpic

Some trick flow twisted wedge fast as cast 190's would make that machine boogie nicely. Don't skimp on the heads and don't be afraid to go "big" as far as common knowledge is concerned.

definitely go big. perhaps talk to someone that can custom grind you a cam for your purposes and desired engine componentssigpic

Did I miss the part about this motor being a dedicated high-rpm race motor? Otherwise AFR205's and the like are far over-kill. AFR165's would be perfect, but depending on piston selection, there should be room for the 2.02 intake valves used in the AFR185's.....the 185's are VERY happy supporting 550+hp combos....so I don't see a need for a race head. For a reasonable goal of 400/400, you can keep things fairly mild and the end result will be a fun, fast car that doesn't shake your fillings out at idle or leave you wanting for more bottom end torque.

347 stroker kit!
k guys and gals, i got the stroker kit in today from summit! i took a bunch of pics during the un-boxing, on monday i'm going to get the pistons and rods to the machine shop to have him assemble them for me, then i'm going to get the block notched for the stroker crank and rods, then BUILD! here are the pics, there are a bunch of them....
lots of pics, on a side note can a mod replace the title to this thread with 347 instead of 306?
