Trick Flow Specialties 347 Stroker – Bigge-R Is Bette-R
Testing a 347 Stroker with the latest from Trick Flow Specialties
A while back, we tested a Track Heat engine kit from Trick Flow Specialties on a high-mileage 5.0L. The Track Heat engine kit was designed as an upgrade that could be applied to anything from a bone-stock 5.0L to a wilder stroker application. For Part 1, we tested the merits of the system on a stock ‘94 5.0L, pulled from the engine bay of a high-mileage Mustang.

Rocker Arms and Adjustable Valvetrain Geometry
Understanding rocker arms and adjustable valvetrain geometry helps you pick the right components for your engine build
The typical four-stroke engine is made up of hundreds of parts. These parts are all designed and engineered to work together to make a prescribed amount of power, torque, engine longevity, and other parameters for the engine’s design (or more accurately what management has told the engineers it needs to do for a specific cost). As long as these parameters are kept in check, the engine will provide the horsepower, torque, longevity, et al, it was designed for. However, if you begin to make changes to that internal combustion engine, be it a camshaft upgrade, new high-flow cylinder heads, or any number of hard part upgrades, you have effectively changed that engine’s engineered design and steps need to be taken to ensure that the new parts are engineered to work with the other new or existing parts of the engine.

Engine Building Part 1 – Power Principles
Before you build the engine, you have to decide what you want in the engine.
It’s so easy for enthusiasts to get excited about horsepower numbers, rpm levels, and sound, while skipping some very key factors of a well-designed engine. Some build requests are realistic while others are not even close. And it’s actually just as important for the engine builder to clarify the needs of the customer, as a totally mismatched engine can easily be an embarrassment to the builder and to the driver/owner.
