408/416 Stroker builds!

This is from my post at Moparts! MOPARTS!
I know this has been done but it wasn't saved anywhere. If you small block stroker guys could post your combos I'll save it on my site if it's ok with Tom. I'm getting ready to build mine and still need to decide on pistons, cam, Rollmaster? and need tech stuff like windage tray modifications.
Come on guys, you have to be bored for the winter so humor me.
I'll start, right now I have:

72 360 standard bore block
cast 4" MP stroker crank
340 E heads, will be ported by Ryan
CAT H beams
ARP head bolts
SS CAT roller rockers
I'll be using my sixpack setup
Still undecided on pistons, cam, timing chain brand, bearings brand and I'll need a windage tray unless I pull the one out of my 340, but I didn't want to have to do that.
Any tips you've come across would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance folks!

Stroker #1 is definitely the better motor, but both were built for the street and will be more than capable of laying the smack down. If I did it again I wouldn't of used the cast crank on stroker #2. Not that the cast crank wont live in this application, it just limits the bottom end for future upgrades / NOS. The retrofit roller cam would produce 20 more horsepower in stroker #2 and torque would come on at 2,000 RPM instead of 2,500... The half point of additional compression works better with the retrofit roller and the higher flowing heads. We probably could of went higher on compression for both motors, but not knowing the future of fuel grades in California these motors were built to run on current plus grade fuel if necessary.

Wow, that looks great.
Is there much to do to get the gear drives to fit. I'd like to get a rollmaster chain but I can't find anybody that sells em!!

--------------------
~Russ~


Sublime_Challi
You just have to drill / tap one hole for the idler tensioner. Otherwise it fits under the stock timing cover. If I did it again I'd go with a good quality roller chain and the MP tensioner, then take the money saved on the gear drive and spend it to get the forged crank... Can always upgrade to gear drive later.

This combo made 617 engine dyno HP at 6500rpms and 550 ftlbs at 5000 rpms 480HP at the wheels. It has made one trip to a quarter mile track where it ran the time you see below in my sig, that was in July on a 90 degree day with piss poor track conditions, as evidenced by the 1.57 sixty foot. it sees mostly 1/8 mile tracks and has posted a best of 6.80 @102.78 also in the heat of the summer. I fully expect this car to go 10.40 or better in the future.

Diamond Flat tops
Sealed Power Moly Rings
12:1, pistons at zero deck, .035" Cometic head gaskets for quench.

1 7/8" TTIs
MSD Billet Dist, 6AL, MSD wires

With those heads and a roller cam, I'm expecting over 600 at the flywheel. Going in a 3100# race weight '72 Barracuda. Street car, looking for at least 10.30's through the mufflers on DOT tires. Might go quicker. We'll see




Ryan, with that buildup the new engine, do you think you're running close to the ragged edge (600+HP) for the cast crank? how come you didn't push him into the forged crank?

haven't seen you post here in a while....glad to see you're still around

how's that thing run on pump gas with that high a comp. ratio?




Unless I missed something, the combination of aluminum heads (effective lowering of CR by one point) and decent quench, I see no issues with him being able to run on pump premium...

I have the 340 Eddy heads, does anyone think these will hurt my quench? They have the .060 machined for the older 340 pistons.

Russ,

I'd be a little more careful here with compression. You are probably best off getting custom pistons for the few extra bucks, that are made to work with your set up. My pistons were set up at .005 in the hole, with the 63cc head. The quench here is right on at 44 thou.

Yeah.... He bought this crank, rods, and pistons last year, when he was just going to do an E head flat tappet motor. He had it internally balancd and even put it in a 340 block. Then he decides he wants to get more radical, put a roller in and do up a set of INDY's..... I was lucky enough to convince him that his 340 block was junk, and that he should at least get a good race block. I think betwen the new heads, rockers, intake, carb, roller cam, and race block, I don't think I can convince him to spend another grand to get a forged crank and have this thing re-balanced again. He's about tapped out. Should have seen the look on his face when I told him how much the MP 59* R3 roller lifters cost So we'll just hope the cast crank holds together. It will mostly be a street driver, that sees the track 3-4 times a year so... we'll see.

If I was building it from scratch it would have the new Callies Forged 4" in it and a GM Rod/Piston combo.

440ebody
Lots of cool combo's

my site



Neil

Here's mine in no particular order:

84 360 truck block .030 over, align honed etc..
4" cast crank internally balanced.
Eagle H-Beams.
Forged Wiseco pistons 10.3 CR.
Econo W2 heads.
Harland 1.5 rockers.
Hughes soild cam.(#4550)
Manley SS valves.
Smith Bros. custom length pushrods.
Hughes timing chain.
W2 single plane intake with 800 AVS. (Too small a carb, but I don't want to mess with a Holley whatsoever).
New accel electronic distributor.
Milodon oil pan, tray, and oil pump.
ARP studs and bolts.
Still need to get some TTI step headers for it later on.

I was going to go with around 10 to one but it looks like most shelf pistons are 9.5 or 9.6 at 65cc's so I may have to get customs.
Thanks for the posts folks, I'm saving this now and will update as more come in.

huh...I think I woulda stuck with a flat tappet and put some of the roller coin towards the crank....and then sold his old crank for maybe 2/3's what he paid for it to make up the difference...

with those heads russ, to get good quench, I'd do one of two things: 1) set up your combo with the pistons .055-.060 OUT of the hole, or 2) mill .060 off the heads to get a closed chamber--those with the diamond 20cc dish piston should get you around 10.75:1 or so....perfect for a street aluminum headed stroker.

I was thinking 11.3:1 would be on the edge of pump-gas friendly...the larger cam probably helps, roadrace...if you were running something more like 230-235@.050, you may have issues...



PlumCrazy top fuel

I thought about the .060 off the head but then you have to worry about taking the right amount off the intake and proper fit. Maybe I'll call diamond and explain my situation and see if they can come up with a piston for me.
I need to get off my butt and get one of the old pistons pressed off the rod and so I can start measuring and grinding on the block for clearance.
I have to find out what bore it's going to first.
Thanks guys, heading for the machine shop.

Internal tricks of the trade by my machinest with 40 years of mopar experience-$Priceless$



Sublime_Challi [Re: Tom_Quad]

Let's see cost... Stroker #1 was near $9000 for the engine, which I sold to my brother for the money to build stroker #2 and acquire the EFI components.

Stroker #2 was a touch over $7000, until I added the cost of EFI. If you try hard and shop around stroker #2 could be built for $6000.

My challenger's F.A.S.T. EFI system, SB stroker and keisler 5 speed setup costs about $15K in drivetrain components alone. Wheels / tires / body & paint will add another $7K to the project. Can you believe I will have about $25K in a '73 Challenger that a lot of people wouldn't want? heh heh heh What an idiot I am...

I am almost embarrassed to post this compared to the high horsepower big builds, but here is my mild street (cheap) stroker.

360, 4 inch mopar cast crack, balanced internally.
Magnum Rods, KB pistons with the quench dome cut (about 9.6 compression)
Edelbrock Heads (273 Rockers)
RPM Air Gap intake
750 Speed Demon
Comp Extreme Hi Lift XE275

Others
Milidon Pan, TTi headers

This is for my street cruiser.


here is the build with pics to date

That's alright Kamstra_Kuda, Mine will be more along your lines, Just wish I could find shelf pistons that are 10.5.

Ran for 30min. with the original Hughes cam, wiped a lobe. Haven't ran it yet with MP cam.

Approx. $5800 wrapped up in it.

Honestly if I had it to do over again would've went with the MP 402 crate motor. Lot less headache and not much down time.

I'm sure I'll like mine when it's running. Should make between 435-450 horse, maybe more.

I think the cam's a bit small. That cam is almost stock in a 408 compared to how it would be in the 360. I don't know, maybe that's what you want. I know I'd go more cam if it were me...

68Fastback,

That cam is too small. Shoot for 235 - 240 @.050 and around .500" lift for a mild street stroker. If you use that cam your motor will be like a truck motor, all low down torque with no top end.

RDABIKE - That sounds incredible. I'd love to see pics of your engine compartment.

I can go with a larger cam, what do you guys think about the one that comes in the MP stroker which I think is the next step up from what I got. Since I am looking for a stout street runner I am sorta conservative when I think of cam selection since it is a science that I always seem to fail at. I have heard good things about Comp Cams any suggestions on a model. Also do I have to change rods to the H beam or is that a good safety bet. I appreciate the help.

Thanks

I like the comp cams XE284 (20-225-4) for a mild street engine. I'd go with that before I'd go with any mopar performance grind. There are better cams for strokers, but I know this one works good for a street application.

Stock rods will work, you need to spend the money to make sure they are sized and have ARP bolts etc. The cost of this is about half the cost of the H-Beams, which are a little better and require less clearancing of the block.

4speeds4me
OK, I've had enough of wanting to post my build and not doing it. Here goes...

.030" 360 block
4" cast crank
KB356 pistons ~9.6:1
Stock rods, debeamed, polished, ARP bolts
288º (254º @ .050) .525" solid cam
Ported 2.02/1.60 heads...not sure what flow is going to be yet
3-key crank sprocket double roller chain
MP tensioner (I won't build another SB without it! )
M1 SP intake
Hoping for a Sizzled TQ

I intend to put this in a somewhat lightened 72 Satellite with a 4-speed (what else! ) and see how it feels. The goal was to see how inexpensively it could be built for reasonable street performance without sacrificing longevity. At this point, it looks like around $3500CDN will have me done. If I was to factor (or could afford) ~6K CDN I could H-beam rod and Eddy head it...not too bad in my books!

Here is my new motor going together this winter for the next racing season starting with a R3 short 9 inch deck 3.79 crank rods cut to 2.00 4.185 bore custom je piston dish to keep comp low with 50 cc heads comp roller W9 heads being ported by Ryan as we speak jesel 1.7 rockers tit. valves hoping to have a very good bracket comb when done thats why we have taken comp out of the motor still with 4.185 bore and 379crank 50cc heads still with dish pistons will have 11.5 not bad for a dish piston should be a great motor when done

Do you have a picture of what that Milidon pan looks like installed in your car, I am concerned with ground clearance. BTW nice write up and pictures on your build up. Thanks

It does hang a little low. I am considering taking an inch off of it...

Sublime_Challi


Mine is .030 over 340, 4" forged crank, CAT h-beams, Wiseco pistons, W2 heads prepped by Ryan Johnson and Dwayne Porter, 1.6 MP roller rockers, Racer Brown STX-21 cam. It actullay measured 575 lift and 272 duration @ .050 and CL was 105. It is installed @ 108. CR is 11.1. 13/4" TTI's. Victor W2 intake. Convertor is a TA 4400 for W2 small blocks. 4.30 gear. Car weighs 3500 with me in it. Hoping for some 11.5's . It's a roll bar thing . Jim --------------------

I just put my 340 on E-bag after reading this post I think the stoker 340 is a good idea, only problem no car for the motor, except the RR but I've been wanting a big block for it........ not sure what to do now.........
Well I just bought another 4" crank motor today..... It's W9Dartgts's old shortblock. Looks something like this: 9.56" R3
4.125" Bore
4" Forged Crank, turned to 2.10" rods
6.25" Eagle H beams
Custom JE Flat tops, Lateral Gas Ports, .927" Pins
426 cubic inches
I guess I'm putting a mild Comp Flat tappet in it, and a set of ported W5's, INDY intake and a 950 HP series Holley. Going to set the quench at .035" with custom cometics, and shoot for pump gas at ~ 11.9:1 This will be ~620 HP Street motor for my '69 Coronet 500 Will be very similar (except R3 block and forged crank) to B3422W6's old 416 which made 621 HP. Heads will be almost identical and cam will be the same one.

This article gives a good understanding of the SB Stroker buildup... Steve Dulcich did a good job I think. It shows the oil system modification etc. Have a look...

Hey I am learning so please excuse me for all the questions. So is there a better forged piston that works with stroker combos. Jesse
Well its not a 408/416, but it is a 405ci stroker
here is what I have, and I dont think you want to run this on the street
Block R-3 48* block line bored
lifter bores sleeved
roller cam bearings
4.125 bored and hone plate
3.790 stroke billet MP crank, weights turned down for faster revs, balanced
CP pistons 14.1:1 super light weight 343grams
Eagle H-beam rods 6.125" with chevy pins and big end
TCI balancer
Heads W-9 heads
mill .010 just for true 2.18 intake valves 1.625 exhaust flow is 360 @ .700 ported by Chapman spring pressure is 320 at seat
Cam Straightline Performance for a 48* 276*/284* @ .050, .704"/.688" LSA 112 install at 106 lash hot .022"/.028"
Keith Black gear drive
4-stage dry sump pump Stock Car Products
personally built dry sump pan and oil tank
personally build 3 step headers 1 7/8" to 2" to 2 1/8" 4" collector
Mopar W-9 intake for now, till I can build a new manifold
Had to build the valley tray for it (not avalible) 1050 dom
cutom build coolant manifold system for the heads
this is going in my P-Body for next season Special thanks to Chuck at Best Machine, and Scott at Straightline Performance

That cam is too small. Shoot for 235 - 240 @.050 and around .500" lift for a mild street stroker. If you use that cam your motor will be like a truck motor, all low down torque with no top end.



I finally got to see one of these strokers perform at a 1/8 mile, my buddy has almost the same car as mine and is running a 550 313 cam and this thing idles nice at 800 rpm's. So I am glad I found this post.

By smokindemon
Muscle motors built my 416 stroker. I'm not sure of everything in it but Iwill list what I know;
-340 block(race preped.)
-Edelbrock alum.ported heads
-4" steel crank
-Ross pistons
-Arp head & main bolts
-M/P high Volume oil pump
-Comp. extreme cam 507/510
-1.5 Roller rockers
-Crane pushrods
-Ported Air gap intake
I use a 870 Street avenger carb. and TTI headers. They said this set-up should run about 500 H.P. It runs very strong, but is still very streetable.Runs on 93 octane pump gas. I have it in my '71 4-speed Demon.
