What better grand finale for our Strokers Wild series than a Ford 460 stroker project? Like we said when we kicked this project off, there’s no replacement for displacement—and this final installment gives you 520 cubic inches worth of displacement!
We’re gong to show you how to punch an ordinary 460 out to 520 cubic inches without spending your kid’s college fund. This affordable big block Ford stroker combination is based on a SCAT 4.300-inch stroke cast crankshaft and 6.700-inch Eagle Specialties connecting rods. No block clearancing or other trick stuff is required. Other than Chevy rod bearings and a set of custom flattop pistons, the rest of the engine is built with off-the-shelf Ford performance parts.
Of course, those off-the-shelf parts are pretty good: Trick Flow PowerPort A460 aluminum cylinder heads and intake manifold, Crane roller cam, Holley 1,150 cfm Dominator carburetor, MSD crank trigger and Pro Billet distributor, and Hedman Husler headers. Together, they make for a very potent package.
How potent, you ask? You’ll have to wait until the big dyno super-session, when we thrash the 520 and its 347 cube 5.0L and 393 cube 351W brothers until they deliver the big numbers. In the meantime, we’ll show you how this King Daddy 520 went together—and how Trick Flow made it even better with new and improved PowerPort A460 cylinder heads, an R-Series A460 intake manifold, and 1.73 ratio roller rocker arms. The new parts are also listed below.
While the build-ups are done, the dyno-testing is still to come. Stay tuned to OnAllCylinders for dyno results for all three stroker mills.
