thinking about buying a stroker motor

[Stroked03Cobra]

I have done a ton of reading up on this, strokers do have their issues with the 4.6 block. Ford has the Boss 5.0 block out that has many upgrades from the standard block and can be more beneficial for a stroker setup. Is it worth it in the long run? Thats up to you, I dont know if the extra cost justifies the difference in power, especially if your going forced induction. Theres a lot to read out there, just do the homework!

i understand were your coming from but for $4grand you get a fully forged 5.3 stroker i was thinking that was a great deal because that puts me in a place were i dont have to mess up my engine and i can take it back to factory specs if i wanted to sell it.

heres the set ups i was thinking

for bosted
5.3 stroker ported polished heads KB manmonth blower and ether a six speed or the mach 1 auto trans

for N/A

5.3 stroker racing port and polish heads and intake short runner mod and stage 5 cams six speed or mach 1 auto trans

im planing on doing more racing with the car then driving on the street so everything could change i was thinking the automatic transmission because Im doing more Dragracing then driving on the street i have a good idea how much this will cost me im not planing on buying everthing at once this most likely will be a 2 year build unless i hit a jackpot at the rivers...... bigayest thing right know is finding someone who will port and polish my heads so far no one wants to work on them and some of the shops that said they would there price was way to high.
