Building a 393W
Hey guys I am in the process of building a 351W. It is a 89 truck engine. I tore it apart to check everything of course. The pistons looked like you could swim in them cause the dish was so big lol. So I was goin to order a set of pistons for it. Everybody keeps telling me that since im puttin a set of pistons in it that i should go ahead and make it a 393. Ive researched it a little bit and seen you use 3.85 stroke crank, stock 351 rods, and 302 pistons. What do yall think? What crank would yall recommend, etc? Thanks guys in advance

Eagle has a cast crank for it that I know of... maybe forged too.
And yes, the 351W stock rod will work and I know it's good up to at least 500hp or so. A stock 302 piston is also the correct pin height. A set of OE 5.0L pistons works nicely. The 393 is a real good budget stroker! I say go for it!

Lmao I knew it would stick in your mind. I think for the cost its not going to be much different but power wise it will properly tuned. Eagle is good. Adperformance crankshafts has killer deals on stroker cranks and kits. I know a lot of the bigblock guys buy from him. He has a link up over on 460ford.com but I can't get it on my blackberry. Go for it man!
