Possibly the wiper motor, but what are you going to run off it, those wires arent very big!! If you have a manual check the wiring diagram.

Im pretty sure you can still get the starr manifolds, they were basically the front chopped off the old one and a bigger throttle body and neck welde4d on.

JUst because you stroke it wont mean that u will get overheating problems. I guess its proportional to power output. If it were a 400hp mill yeah maybe. You will pick up some horsepower with the stroker but its the tourque that will increase alot. After i stroked the 308 in my tonner i only picked ...

The injected heads flow alot better than the old red heads, Im pretty sure they will flow 460hp as they are. As you are building it for tourqe the standard valves and ports are perfect. Small ports and valves equals air speed, which also helps atomize the fuel better. Stroker cranks are getting ...

When I built the stroker for my 1 tonner the sump was slightly dented. First fire up with the big crank and it was hitting!! I did the same, weld a nut on and slide hammer it out. Make sure u empty the sump and go easy on the welding. Sumps arent that thick.

The oil light should NOT come on at all once the motor is running, If my oil light was doin that I would be worried. If the oil pump seems to keep up at revs there would have to be somewhere in the motor that the clearences are too big, hence when its just idling the oil is escaping faster than ...
