5.7 rods will not make that a stroker. why mess with all that, the stock bottom end is good for over 400 hp just freshen it up and dump the auto and get a t-5 get the good head,and a nice turbo and i/c

the block and head are coming outta the shop/ emergency room.
give it about a month and it should all be completely done.
i work 2 jobs so its very time consuming to get time to do it but i plan on making a video and picture slideshow with the dyno numbers and ill put em on here.
wont be within a week but... coming to a theater near you
but post the opinion if i should put it in a ranger and make it auto??
or mustang with a t-5??
dont know the outcome where it should go yet.... just still building it

Put it in the Bently.

But as mentioned earlier, those rods ain't gonna get you that displacement, and I'm all for putting that engine in something it was never meant to be in.
