How strong is FRPP 392W

GodStang · 07-30-2003, 11:24 AM

How strong is the 392 Stroker shortblock that Ford Racing sells? Is it worth getting? Is there anything that will make it stronger?

If it doesnt come with a girdle which i cant remember, i would replace the crankshaft mains with studs and add a girdle windage tray and a quility oil pan.

It depends on what you're looking for in the motor, is it a mild street setup or are you looking on getting down the 1320 as fast as possible? ~Brian

I want both. I am going with AFR 205cc heads and Edlebrock 5.8 EFI intake. And than in a couple of years a Paxton Novi. I want it streetable. It is for a 1994. I can find good parts for a 1993 and eariler but as far as the 94-95 it is hard as heck to find good parts.

Does it have a Sportsman block or production block? Either way, you're going to have probably just over 400 n/a. It is strong enough for that, problem is when you strap the boost on. That's why my motor is on hold, I can't afford the W351 block so I can throw 18 psi on a 351. As long as you shift before 6500 it will make it a lot easier on the engine too. Bottom line, you'll be fine if you keep the boost low, and think, that's a couple years off too. ~Brian

Are you talking about FRPP M-6009-B392? If you are, the pistons are not ideal for boost and the compression is going to too high too. Check out www.dssracing.com they build some good shortblocks. I live 30 minutes from the shop and know they do a decent job. ~Brian
