You have to do a shit ton of machine work to build a 5.0 stroker

Okie dokie

I figure you wouldnt, unless you upgrade the tranny and axles....

My question has always been, why do you need more hp out of a 4.0? A stock one has enough power to smoke 33's and break axles. With more power you just break more stuff more often.

If you have ever seen a bare 4.0 block you would know the concerns. There are several places on the block that have a VERY thin casting. IMHO your asking for trouble by putting more stress on these...

That, and with the longer stroke you are firing off more gas, which heats up more. I would talk to somebody that lives in the south and DD's a stroker before you build one. I haven't met anybody...

i really think you will regret building a stroker. Expect more cooling problems...
