Which is bigger a 360 or a 408 stroker engine?
These engines are essentially the same, depending which block was used. Due to its larger stock bore, the 340 block yields about 6 more cubic inches than the stroked 360. The first test was a 360 block with the 4″ stroke (360/408) that was built to be what we call a “stealth” build-up.
Why did I build a 360 stroker motor?
After reading several articles on how many gearheads were taking regular small blocks and producing high power monsters out of them simply by lengthening the crankshaft stroke, I decided to build my own 360 stroker motor.
Is the 416 Stroker the same as the 360 Stroker?
At +0.030″, it is 416ci. We used the same cam as our earlier version, which is now our HUG HEH3742AL cam, with our 1.6:1 roller rockers – current part number 1506S-16, 1111 springs, HUG 1202 retainers and HUG 1322 locks. The block was prepared the same as in Test 1 and 2 with the 360/408.
What do I need to build a Mopar 408 Stroker?

How many horsepower does a 408 CID Windsor Stroker have?
The 408 Ford Windsor Stroker engine was finished to have a 10.5:1 compression ratio, and was expected to pump out more than 550 horsepower on the dyno. “Although a lot of people have seen the Holley Hi-Ram on engines or engine stands, there haven’t been a lot of videos for people who want to use it,” Aldrete says.
At +0.030″, it is 416ci. We used the same cam as our earlier version, which is now our HUG HEH3742AL cam, with our 1.6:1 roller rockers – current part number 1506S-16, 1111 springs, HUG 1202 retainers and HUG 1322 locks. The block was prepared the same as in Test 1 and 2 with the 360/408.
What kind of stall converter do you need for a 408 Stroker?
For this build level we test each engine on our own in house dynamometer; you get the dyno sheet from the actual engine sold to you. The 408 stroker is recommended for street/strip use. This engine has an aggressive, lopey cam so a 2500 stall converter is recommended if using an automatic transmission.
