What is a stroker piston?

A stroker kit increases an engine’s displacement by lengthening the stroke of the piston. In a kit will be bespoke engine components altered from OEM parts to achieve this increase in stroke. They allow the piston to travel further up and down the cylinder thanks to the use of a different crankshaft.

Does a longer rod make a motor a stroker?

Stroker cranks require a shorter piston to keep the factory sized piston from extending beyond the deck surface, it is also shortened to accommodate a longer rod. In the past the only way to complete a stroker motor was to find the right combination of rod lengths and piston heights.

How much HP can a stock 351C handle?

Registered. The hp on any block depends on many factors. The most obvious of course is how the block is casted which the 351C has an advantage in that area over any other ford small block. One block could crack at 500 hp while the other holds fine at 700+.

How much vacuum should a 351C have?

Re: 351C-4V very low vacuum… But since normal vacuum should be at least 15″ and 8 is really low, I would suspect intake gaskets. You may not detect it by spraying on top of the engine. They may be deteriorated on the bottom over the galley.
