So I'm pulling my engine out to fit my new heads, cam etc... and I thought to myself, if I'm going to do that, I may as well freshen up the seals etc, then I thought, If I'm going to do that I may as well stroke it to 331ci... So I've built up a small list of required parts from Summit but I need to know If I'll run into any problems, or If I need any other parts etc.
Can I still run 24lb injectors on a 331 with the twisted wedge heads, cam intake etc? Or do I require larger? First off, engine bored to 4.030 then fitted with the following: -Fed. Mogul cam bearings (FEM-1204M) -Fed. Mogul CP rod bearings (FEM-2600CP) -Fed. Mogul mains bearings (FEM-4125M) -Pioneer automotive 28oz SFI balancer -Summit 4340 H-Beam rods (SES-5-44-05-201) -Sealed Power file-fit plasma-moly rings (ZR977135) -Trick Flow 331ci twisted wedge forged pistons (TFS-51404111) -SCAT 93023 forged crank (SCA-93023) -Full Fel-pro gasket kit I already have a Yella Terra 50oz flywheel, but it has removable weights so I'm presuming I can just purchase a 28oz weight from them to replace it...... I'm planning to get the local engine shop to do the machine work on the block, then install the rest myself/my dad. Dad has two garages full of specialty tools and has been a mechanic since the dawn of time... but how big of a job is putting the rotating assembly in? The bearings, crank, rods and pistons come in at just under $nz2000 delivered, I'm assuming the bore/hone will be around $500. |

Just my opinion here but seeing as you haven't mentioned what intake and cam to go with the TW heads, I would consider 30lb injectors for the additional headroom. That would mean upgrading your fuel pump too.

This is similar assembly to mine..
I used a neutral balanced crank.. Which still requires balancing.. what cam are you using ??? TFS 1 ?? Suggest head and mains studs too... Oh and decent sump or add windage tray, crank scraper and extended sump to increase capacity...

The reason I'm taking the engine out is to put all the gear onto it, so i though while i was at it I may as well stroke it if it's not going to cost an arm and a leg to get the machine work done. {USERNAME} wrote: I was paying about $30 a hole for a re-bore. Assembling the engine isn't hard mate, you'll be all over it! Hopefully this place in town doesn't charge much more! I may even just get a quote for putting it together, as looking at videos of piston ring installs, looks too damn fiddly! {USERNAME} wrote: This is similar assembly to mine..

Oh and decent sump or add windage tray, crank scraper and extended sump to increase capacity... If only I had your turbos! Yes I'm using the TFS 1 cam. The kit came with ARP head studs already, So I should buy some new main studs? What sumps are available to suit our Falcons? I'm trying to buy everything from Summit at once as they charge an arm and a leg for shipping, so I may as well make the most of it. Do I need a new oil pump or will the stocker do the trick? |

Graeme, I think you edited the quote above a little off.
It was XFWAGON who was asking the question and not me.
