Gonna depend on your valve covers.    I have tall trickflows.  With a Wilson elbow everything clears but no chance of using a stock hood.   I saw some edelbrock elbows that were shorter but you would need to be past the valve cover on my set up for throttle linkage to work

I need to upgrade my Edlebrock RPM !! intake which is 11.13" high. The key here is to keep the stock hood. The Victor EFI comes in at 11.4" and the Super Victor EFI can be pieced together to get really close to 11.13 however the parts selection is critical because the only elbow I see that has a chance of working is a 3847 and I'm concerned that will bury the throttle linkage into the valve cover. Has anyone pieced together a Victor EFI (p/n 2928) that fits under a stock hood or is there another brand of intake out there that will work. Just FYI the ports on the 205 11R's are 2.250x1.4.

popped a head gasket on the dyno on #3, it's a turbo setup 18# of boost. I want to increase to torque on the ARP studs by 10# to get more clamping force and I will be using ARP lube on treads. It' a stock 5.0 block with GT40P heads that is going to have felpro 9333 gaskets. Question is...good idea? bad idea?

Hey all,
I have a Ford Racing 347 (2004 vintage with Z heads) with a ITB intake set up.

I noticed a rough idle, changed the plugs, followed by a compression test which showed zero in numbers 2 and 3 cylinders and readings pretty much all over the place across the board.
I pulled the heads and discovered what I suspected - a blown head gasket between 2 and 3.
Further inspection revealed the following:
Head 1 - Damage between 2 and 3 chambers. 
Intake manifold - Pitting from water/coolant leaks at each end on both banks.
Bores - Pitting from water/coolant sitting in a couple of cylinders. Fingernail sized.

So my questions are:
Will a Hone remove the pitting alone?
Given the 347 is already 30 thou over is this block junk if it needs boring/honing?
Will a machinist be able to surface the heads and intake to match correctly again?

Thanks heaps in advance.
Steve

I can't answer your question but sadly this sight seems to have been pretty much abandoned. You might do better here. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=fordstrokers&epa=SEARCH_BOX .Same people just on facebook

I am new to stroker motors but have built raced successfully many ford engines.

I understand the 6.200 rods are mostly all a Chevrolet design. Can someone help me understand what a "correct offset rod" and which diminsions are being referenced??g

Will the FelPro 1133 MLS head gasket work on a stock 5.0 out of a 86 Mustang with Stock heads. Some places say yes, other no.
