Hello my friends, its been a long, but im back, ill be looking in some stores to find a 418 stroker kit, and i found one in california the company is TMD, does any one knows if those kits are good, im try to get a 10.5 comp. ratio with aluminium AFR heads and use pump gas, and maybe some flat tappet solid cam.

TMD is a amazing company , I just dealt with them a few months ago , great service i had then stuff in a week and i live in canada , I got their 408 forged kit and all the pieces look just prefect yet to put it all to gether and run it but the company its self is great to work with i highly recomend them and plus they dont rape you with the price

I'm GUESSING The Mustang Depot. If that's them, they sell TONS of stuff on ebay.

A few words of caution with the 418. BAD rod ratio, so longevity is out of the question. Secondly, you're building a small block that THINKS it's a big block. Gotta feed that thing, big carb (or injectors,) BIG ported intake, BIG heads, and BIG exhaust!

Not to mention all the drivetrain shizzle you're gonna bend. I know it's a small block, but train yourself to think BIG BLOCK, and you'll absolutely love that motor!!!

tmd does stand for The Mustang Depo , They don`t have a website though , they just run off as a ebay store , And if you looking for heads have a look into their alum. pro cnc heads they are quite the bang for the buck i got the cnc ported heads and they look amazing for what you pay for them and flow great numbers
