Thread: stroking a 3.5 motor

I had a 4.3 (stroked and slightly overbored 3.5) in a County - went very well but was coming due for some work after a decade of abuse on gas (if only I had known when I bought it!) Know owned by Mark2 - he may be able to tell you more than I can.

Apparently kits are available - I'd try Google. They are normally quoted as 4.2 or 4.3l for the 3.5's.

G'day. Have a shot this lot. They're in SA and hava a reasonable stock of gear - in the V8 motorsport section, there's a 4.3 and 4.9 litre stroker kit..

Have fun.

Put a chev in it, dont waste your coin, unless you get hold of a second hand stroker motor complete, you could fit a 350 for the same price and it will have more torque, more horsepower, and be just as reliable.....I even have one on the shed floor spare

Chev's are to heavy.A work mate of mine put one in a rangie and it drove like a pig.He had to fit stronger springs in it and then it startered to crack the mounts and he was sorry he ever did it Pat

Dont wreck the balance of the rover stuffing in a cast iron detroit made lump.

Sure the power is nice but the balance of the vehicle goes up the sh*tter

Best would be to grab a 4.6 bottom end!

Ever put a bullbar and winch on your vehicle??, well if you have, you've screwed the weight distribution up more than a cast iron block

Most critiscism i've heard are usually from those that have never had one themselves

I reckon my 4BD1 weighs a bit more than a small block, and it handles just fine for me.....
