Can a 427 Stroker be made from Dart block?
you can build a 427w from a dart block 4.125 bore piston, 6.250 rod lenght and 4.00 stroke crank. I’m putting this on together right now for my 62 falcon for strip only a little costly but hp ain’t cheap lol. I am also looking to build the 427 stroker and have all the same problems you are.
Are there any problems with a 427 Stroker?
The rod ratio IS an issue for longevity. There is quite a bit of side load on the piston wall. The oil consumption issues really have been resolved on strokers now days. 393 and 408 strokers are popular for the simple fact they will last awhile, and the rod angle is not too severe.
Is the Ford 427 a good street engine?
On the other hand, if you don’t mind doing a bit of grinding to your block, and perhaps a few bucks more, for a street engine the 427 is awesome with it’s long TDC dwell (timing and combustion efficiency) and quick down-stroke (peak piston velocity) making for sharp throttle response.
What to check when building a stroker engine?
Checking Crank & Rod Block Clearance. Whenever you build a stroker engine, it’s imperative to check rotating clearance of the crank counterweights and rod big end clearance relative to the block. With the crank installed in the block, I carefully rotated the crank to check for counterweight clearance to the block.

How much horsepower does a 460 block Ford Stroker have?
The 460 block works well as a 545, and with the Kaase P51 heads makes an effortless 600 horsepower.” Nijssen says, “I do not ‘sell engines’ – I build engines. Mostly, they’re street/strip combinations, both lower cost ‘budget’ motors and maximum monster power makers.”
