First up of this has been covered can you delete and send me to the right topic!
So I’m looking at building a stroker for more torque as I want to tow and tour here in Australia also want it to be super reliable, so the best build I have come across for this is on dinos page the low compression crawler build, any advice?
I don’t need a high revving motor so looking to get the max torque as low in the rev range as possible

Re: Newbie! Stroker build advice!
G'day. What grade of fuel are you using Down Under?
My 4.6 low compression recipe is specifically for 87 US octane but you could replicate the more popular 4.6 low buck recipe which still produces gobs of low rev torque.

Re: Newbie! Stroker build advice!
If you can find one, or have one made, try to find a "long tube" exhaust header. The longer primaries and longer merges vs the "shorty" headers should help maximize your low RPM power.

Re: Newbie! Stroker build advice!
Thanks mate, I’m mostly using 95 octane though I know when traveling remotely we don’t have options so though the journey it may have to run some lower octane fuel like 91.
Also I’ll definitely look into the headers thank you

Re: Newbie! Stroker build advice!
The 95 RON octane you're using is equivalent to 91 US octane, and 91 RON is equivalent to 87 US. The 4.6 low buck recipe would be fine for you but with the CompCams 163-201-5 cam as it's designed for the '99+ 4.0 block and is also compatible with the stock valve springs.

Re: Newbie! Stroker build advice!
Perfect sounds good, I’ll definitely be reading more and starting to collect parts for this build
