What kind of power can be produced out of an inline six block if it is bored and stroked?

 

boring doesnt do much for power. its there to clean up the cylinder bores to make them true, clean and crosshatched.

stroking the 300 is useless. its already a 4.00" stroke. the cranksfhat would need to be offset ground and custom rods would be needed. Clifford has a stroker kit...note the term, HAD.

SilverStreak mentioned he had a stroker kit in his skunkworks but kept hush hush about it. in theroy it could work but the 300 is set up good as it is. its an almost square engine which, IIRC, is good for making oodles of torque and being efficent.

 

yeah, your right, how much torque does the 4.9 make? I love mine, you just can't kill it!

 

between about 250-270 ft lbs depending on carb'd or efi and what year.

 

I never had a kit, I just have some ideas I want to try. I'm pretty sure I can get around 350 cubes without getting real exotic. Just have to get time. I don't think I was very hush hush about the stroker stuff. I'm pretty sure all my thoughts are documented here. There are some intake, exhaust and other things I'm reluctant to disclose until I get results. Getting my timing gears changed is the next thing on the list. Looks like I'm gonna have to settle for coarse tooth gears. The only place I found fine tooth listed was on Comp's website and that was a lie.

 

well i know how u are about those intake/exhaust ideas so i took a guess. ah well.

 

whatever you do, don't swap it for a v8.

 

I really love my I6 but I am wondering how well it will perform if I run 36" tsl with 4:56. I think it should be fine. Any thoughts.

 

what tranny?
