I am thinking of buying a used 410 stroker for my 67. Anything I should be concerned with? Here's the specs: 351 Windsor 410 cubic inch stroker motor, RHS 215cc intake runner iron cylinder heads 2.08" intake. RHS #35303-02. 1.60" intake. Edelbrock Torker II intake port matched to heads. Ford Motorsport Z-303 hydraulic roller camshaft 228/228 duration at 0.050" .552 lift intake/exhaust. 1995 Ford F-150 block 4.04 bore with 4.0" stroke. 475HP/500 foot pounds torque. Probe pistons, roller rockers, scat crank nodular iron forged I-beam rods. 10:1 compression ratio. GM HEI style distributor. Comes with shorty stainless headers. I know I'd need to get an oil pan, pump and pickup. I've got a 3.5 posi rearend and an FMX transmission- Thinking of upgrading to an AOD.Thanks

Looks like a decent foundation with lots of room for more hp if you ever wanted to step it up.
if the bore was 4.06 you could tell people its a 406. i have an FE intake for a boss 302.

Hey Mike, I thought it already had a Windsor in it from the PO. What's your strategy about this possible switch?:shrug:
I'm looking for a strong, streetable motor. I won't be racing it but I'll be testing it out every time I get on the highway! I've got a 351w from the previous owner, not sure of the internals but I remember driving it and it ran good - like a stock motor. It's currently on a stand. I want something with a little more cam, not too radical. I'm thinking 400-500 hp. This motor is turnkey and a great price. It's about a 1/3 of what I could build mine for.
as with any used engine, you want to check the condition of the bearings. if they pass muster, then i say grab the motor. it is a nice street build.
Says he'll pull the pan and show me the main and rod bearings. No issues with install height vs. my 69 351w?
Don't think there are any differences in the install height of the basic block. They are both 351s. The "Torker" intake may make a diff.?
+1....It will be exactly the same as what you have now depending on what intake you have on your old engine. I believe the torker is fairly flat compared to an air gap or vic jr which is what I would be running on that engine.
I've got a factory cast iron 4 barrel intake. Thanks for all the advice. I'm waiting to hear back from him. Hopefully I'll have another motor this weekend.
I just bought a 408 for my 68 which used to have just a 351w....
Both our cars will be zippy and fun

I made the mistake of buying a used engine from a reputable builder. Never again. You have no idea if everything was machined/assembled properly. Build your own or have one built so you know exactly what is in it.
Anytime I buy a used engine I just figure to spend a minimum $500-$1000 going through it fixing poor machining and assembly. That always works well for me.
