good info man, I have been thinking about doing the 331 build for a while now. I think first though is either a kenne bell supercharger or possible a pony down turbo system. I thinki they would work well together.

Reggie,
What kind of heads would with this build? I am thinking of doing this and I like the Trick Flow. Also, can I keep a mech fuel pump or do you have to change to elec. One last thing, I went to the summit web site and began a wish for the stoker, the only I can find is the scat flex plate, I am going to have a T5, is the flex plate still needed?

i personally am not the impressed with trick flow heads
i would look at afr's or edlebrock.....
i recommend changing to a electric fuel pump
finally if you are going with a T5 you need a flywheel
either a 50 oz or 28 oz 157 tooth depending of what stroker kit you go with...

Thanks Reggie,
Now if I go with the AFR head, which one do you recommend? Also, which lifters, rockers and vlaves would I need? I am looking at the stoker kit that you have listed.
I was planning on building the 331, from everything that I have read it seems to be more reliable. To bad we don't live closer, I would come over to pick your brain. I was talking with a local performance shop the other day and they want around $5500 to build a bolt in ready engine with around 350hp. Plus I would still ned to buy the trans. I am hoping I could build one cheaper.

believe it or not $5500 is not a bad price for a ready to run stroker
the problem involved with engine building is not the major components...
it all the little stuff nuts & bolts, gaskets.....etc
it will add up quick....

good info...I'm going to be doing the 331 stroker along with the charger...should be fun!
can you send me a pic of that kenne bell i have never seen one for a 5.0 how much do they run and how much boost is it good for i have a v1 and thinking of changing 2 a 2.1 like the mounting on top looks fact
i have an extra engine block that i want to build into a stroker but i've had trouble deciding what to do.. what are the advantages and disadvantages between a 331 and a 347? i also heard you could go as far as a 355?
im no expert... but as far as ive seen and read. the 331 has a better rod angle than a 3347 when its put together, so i think it spins easier and revs higher... dont quote me though, im onlt going off what i've read
but i have a friend that built a 347 stroker with a set of afr 205 heads and an e303 cam, and another friend that built a 331 stroker witht the same heads and cam... and the 331 has outrun the 347 on the top end everytime they race
im looking to take out my 302 ho and put a new 302boss aluminum block with a 347 stroker kit with forged flat top aluminum pistoms with valve notchs in them im hoping to be running 225cc afr heads and some 1"5/8 hooker headers but right now im still looking for the best intake(fuel injected) and cam and i need to get help before january 5th(order day)

i have a kb 1.5 (the old style) that will fit the earlier 5.0s (pre 94). pm me and we can see what we can do for pricing. my ford builder tested it and sez its legit/complete... i like the blow/flow i put on my 95... great for kick in the seat acceleration...
