460 Stroker

[dave76]

I read about the 460 stroker from CWR, IMO it's not what I would want. They actually cut the stock Warrior con rod and remove a few milimeter from it and reweld it back together, called the shrunk rod, then they stroke the crank, and use a stock Warrior piston due to the shrunk rod. Here's a few problems I see already, the super short rod increses pistons speeds which creats a lot of wear, plus their use of a stock style piston instead of a smaller lighter stroker piston of FST, the weight will be heavier, which increases side loading on the skirts. Plus you don't really gain torque because this motor will be a screamer, and the 2 valve head is more happy with a lower RPM motor, think 4 valves higher RPM.

how much did it finally cost u for all the parts and labor to get ur 446?

 

[dave76]

With shipping $1150, I needed new valves because I adjusted the valves wrong and they kinda burned on the tips. So the head costed like $300 with porting.

how much of a difference did it make afterwards like performance wise? cz ive been thinkin of gettin mine up around 400.

 

[dave76]

Difference is 42HP compared to 18 stock.
