[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 6524808, member: 11681"] The Mark 8 block will fit. The skirts of stock stroke 4.6 pistons come out the bottom of the bores at BDC. If the piston to wall clearance is too loose when cold, a clearance sometimes used on a 2618 alloy forged RACE PISTON in the interest of longevity during the heat of racing, then they [I][B]may[/B][/I] be at higher risk of cold scuffing on a street car. The best 4.6 stroker IMHO is the high deck 5.4, which has the longer cylinders to support the skirts through the entire stroke. On a street car I would just do a clean up bore on a Teksid(20 over or less) and be happy with it. If you really want inches get a used 32V Navi engine and build that. The cranks are as good as ours but the rods and pistons are not. Some have even used our heads with adapters on the taller wider 5.4 block. There are plenty of 4.6 big bore strokers out there that have not had issues, but I think a stock stroke would be cheaper and more durable. Just my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
