im thinkin on making my spare 3sgte a stroker input please...
how do you build these with 5sfe... is it the 3sgte block, rods and pistons w/ a 5sfe crank shaved down? -DMC |

what dictates the displacement of a motor? Its bore and stroke. If you look at the specs for the stroker kits on the market you'll see the bore and the stroke are identical to that of a 5sfe.

You said rods/crank/pistons are the same. I highly doubt that. I doubt the crank journals are the same (5SFE vs JUN stroker), I doubt the rods are the size/length, I doubt the actual bores are the same, the 5SFE being an odd number (87.5mm). I honestly am not even sure if the 3SGTE piston pins are the same as the 5SFE (press fit). Again I'll say, I'll stick to my gut. Stroking with a stroker kit that costs more than the swap itself, or is the cost of 2-3 spare longblocks... just doesn't make sense... because the torque advantage just isn't that great. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
