357 stroker in a street car???

RompDeeez302 · 01-31-2003, 08:00 PM

I just bought a new 95 stang gt with only 44k miles on it

Questions I have are these:

1) I wanna build my 302 with a 351W crank and bore it over .030 over, mild work includes 10.5:1 pistons, stock cam, port polished and worked over to 1.94, 1.60 hipo heads, and intake and injectors will be from a cobra. It will occasionally run nitrous on the track, but how streetable will this engine be, like MPG wise and idle??? It will still be EFI so I dont know about the computer work or...

2) Just work wit the same combo but just make it a 306? And....

3) Any suspension mods that have to be a must so I could stop freakin fishtailing?

Thanks to the peeps that reply

351W crank won't fit
if you leave the stock cam in there, then you'll cancel the other improvements in flow.
Thats like building a long pipeline all out of 8 foot pipe except for one little section in the middle the size of a soda straw .... no matter how great the big pipe flows, the whole pipeline will still be restricted to what will flow through that little section of soda straw.

So I am guessing I should stick with a 306? And again about the mpg and idle, how would those characteristics be?
