Who's Running a Stroker?
Just curious, I see the stroker idea thrown around a here and there. There's no doubt it's a cool idea, but I'm wondering how many folks have actually made it work with the EFI system in our trucks.
So who all is actually running a stroker motor? And, tell us a little about your setup - bottom end kit, heads, injectors, SD or MAF, tuning, etc.

You can read about a good tuning option that won't restrict your ability to run whatever engine mods you want here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...his-forum.html

Ford Racing 392 with their mass air conversion kit and a Pro-M 80 mass air meter. I don’t remember what injectors I used but I think the printout from Pro-M says 36# ? BBK 61mm throttle body gasket matched to an Edelbrock intake. I deleted the EGR with a block off plate and the “jumper” plug for the sensor and also deleted the air injection system. I have long tube headers and am running the original (rebuilt & upgraded) C6. Shortly after I regretted not buying a built AOD since having overdrive should have been nice. FYI: This is in a FSB with a 6” lift , 35” tires and 4.10 gears.
I did this this back in ‘09. I’m not sure how much is relavent today. Some of these parts are not available anymore.

Were you running factory heads?
So here's the real question - Would you do it again? Was it worth the effort?

It was purchased as a long block minus the carb and spark plus wires. It dyno’d from Ford @ 430hp with a carb. I don’t know what it puts out with the EFI conversion.
Would I do it again? I’m not sure since the body rot got pretty bad and hasn’t been driven much since the engine swap. It previously had a 302. I made the left out of work one day and floored it. A coworker friend, in a car waiting in line to leave, said the rear end squatted and the truck just took off down the road. It’s can be quite a handful to drive and I’m sure the Detroit locker doesn’t help.

In the midst of building a 408W, I have the block and rotating assembly, need to get my hands on heads, intake(EFI system) cam, the accessory drive, then focus on getting my AOD built to handle the added 400ish more HP, I have a ford 9 inch as well but thats later on with this truck in about a years time.
If all goes to plan and I don't completely veer off of budget:
351W F4TE block bored .030" overbore, block clearanced and machined to fit stroker assy.
main cap supports (might go with DSS)
Eagle Forged crank, Rods
SRP Pistons
ARP hardeware everywhere
AFR Renegade 225CC heads
11.5:1CR
Camshaft not exactly sure, this sounds good for my setup
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy Camshaft; Lift: .576 Intake, .600 Exhaust; Duration @ .050: 242 Intake, 248 Exhaust; Lobe Separation: 110.0
Comp 1.7 RR's and pushrods
will be running Edelbrocks Pro Flo 4 EFI with upgraded fuel system.
Other things im probably not listing but this will be in a years time or so.
Should be around 550-600HP, torque along the same lines.
We'll see what happens, this is what I'd like to get in this 90 short bed. Looking to make it a fun weekend truck and I'm leaving the functionality of the truck as it is, but will be focusing on performance heavily and want to attend local shows and get together meets, plus I want to put a few friends cars in thier places at the local strip, havent told them im adding 400HP tho. should be interesting.....

You can build a stroker, but once you surpass 350HP, you're already beyond what a stock 19lb injector can handle on a 351w.
I've got 3 truck in the yard right now with PimpX ECUs from Stinger with stock stroke motors that are far beyond what the stock fuel system and ECU could have handled. As far as I'm concerned, with aftermarket ECUs and all the throttle body fuel injection systems available on the market, there's no reason to limit yourself to using the Ford factory parts.
