Subject: Pantera stroker kits for the 351C

Date: 	Wed, 7 Jan 1998 00:02:33 +0000



I was wondering if there is anybody out here in PanteraLand that has any hard

dyno numbers on the increases in torque and horsepower that can be expected

when a stroker kit is installed in the 351C engine? I am considering such a

kit for my 1971 car with the quench chamber heads. If I go to a 4.030" bore

and a 3.700" stroke it will only increase the displacement 26 c.i. or about

7%. Can I only expect a coresponding increase of 7% in horsepower and torque

output? It hardly seams worth it yet many people put them in. Am I missing

something here?
