400 stroker update
Here are some quick pics of the 434 build up. Lots of room, could use another 1/8" stroke or more. This assembly is internally balanced with out adding metal.
Here's an extra picture.

A good 446 cubes with 4.375" stroke & .030 bore
take it to 4.500" stroke 30 over and you have 459.
I have a company who will make me billets for a very good price. But I have to comitt to 10 crankshafts. I will see how these kit go first.
I honestly think this will give the 460 a run for it's money. The extra stroke should yeild great torque.

I may have to bring you my block.
If I remember right the original stroker was 4.250" stroke with 4.030 bore which yielded 434 cubes.
Remember the 400 was introduced in 1971 and was never developed. The Ford designers probably had big plans for the platform that were killed by EPA regs.

Hey Eric, I assume you will be at the ralley?
I plan on bringing a bunch of parts, and engines to display.
A customer of mine in Witchita, we built a blown 351W stroker, it went into a '33 coupe. He is going to bring the vehicle to the ralley and park it in my "Booth" area. It is one beautiful car.

Jeeez! I wish I hadn't just built a roller cam motor. I can't justify starting over yet. But......all these new parts ???. I think you could build a real killer now and still be quite streetable.

I may start thinking about a short block, after I get the EFI done. Just think 450 cubes, the Engine Masters winning heads and manifold, Sequential EFI with Accufab or BBK throttle body, roller cam, quench, etc.
Can you say TORQUE. I can't keep my rear wheels stuck to the pavement now.
