Anyone stroke an FE?

The stoker kit for my FE 390 came in earlier this week. It should punch out to around 433 ci so I thought I'd check and see if anyone had one, its a kit from Scat, and all I could find were based on Windsors or the 460 platform. I already know that I am odd but am I the only one using the FE platform?

Odd...not in my book! That's a nice looking Galaxie! james67 on vintage-mustang.com is building a 416 FE in a '67 GTA mustang. I believe it is a 390 with a 428 crank. Where did you buy your stroker kit?

Thanks. Your Stang looks mean! I love the old fastbacks. Don't see many around here though. I need to take a new picture that is a little cleaner digitally...like yours. The stroker kit came directly from Scat Crankshafts. I believe the 416 is the smallest kit they have then it goes to around 433 and the big boy goes up over 450 ci. My Galaxie is pretty heavy so I went bigger than the 428 crank. Need the torque to get her moving. The nitrous helps but I usually don't juice the 390 until she's moving.

Should run well, whats the rest of your combo. By the way your galaxie looks bitchin!

482 inches. The last motor in my cougar was a 427 top oiler block bored .017" over to 4.25" with a 4.25" Scat stroker crank, 6.7 inch scat rods and ross pistons. With ported edelbrock heads and a mild roller it made 604 ft lbs of torque and 585 HP using an RPM intake.

Heres the folks you need to talk to...

I can't remember much of details. They changed so much since we orderd them in December...and they finally showed up Saturday. I know we will be running Edelbrock heads, Thunder series 800 cfm carb, Performer - RPM manifold, and FPA headers. Using a Comp cam with 230 duration but I can't remember the rest. The machine shop doing the work has thrown so many numbers and options at me that I finally told him to do whatever he felt would fit the way I drive.

Ujt389: Thanks for the compliment. The car is running 16" Torque Thrust II's instead of the 15" Phat Fives in the picture.

As you can probably tell...I don't know a whole lot about motors. Just enough to get myself in to trouble.
