Need help!! What parts?

Post by MJPeder »

I am looking into building my first stroker, but i need some advise on where to buy my parts.

I live in Norway, so I need to buy these parts online because it is very hard to get these localy.

What do you guys think fo this kit? http://www.titanengines.com/index.php?m ... s_id=26462

I have read around here that Titan don't have the best reputation on buildt engines, but is the parts the same story?

I can just buy everything from summitracing, but that will cost me a lot more..

What do you think?

And what kind of stroker do you recomend 4.5,4.6, or 4.7?

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is and that long list of parts from Titan for a mere $450 tells me that they're selling cheap crap.
I know it'll cost a lot more to buy the necessary parts from Summit Racing but at least you'll be buying good quality, brand name parts so it's worth it.
I'd recommend a 4.6 stroker. The 4.0L block you'll be using is likely to be old enough for the cylinders to be slightly out-of-round or tapered, so it's better to rebore/hone them to get good piston ring seal. A 30 thou overbore (4.6L) leaves enough thickness in the cylinder walls for another rebore. If you do a 60 thou overbore (4.7L) and the cylinder walls are damaged for whatever reason later on, you'll be looking for a replacement block.
