Part 2
In Part 1 of our Fast Ford Formula, we demonstrated the effectiveness of replacing the stock 5.0L components with aftermarket bolt-ons on our 347 stroker motor supplied by Demon Engines. Equipped with factory E7TE heads, 5.0L cam and GT-40 intake, the 347 produced 307 hp at 4,700 rpm and 401 lb-ft of torque at 3,300 rpm. Once we installed the XFI stroker cam, RHS 200cc aluminum heads and Edelbrock RPM II intake, peak power jumped to 448 hp at 6,200 rpm and 420 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm.inline_mediumwraptextrightThe 347 stroker short-block was supplied by Demon Engines. The stroker assembly included a forged steel crank, forged rods, and forged flat-top pistons. Note also the use of Fel Pro 1011-2 head gaskets and ARP head studs.31397232/tech/mmfp_1001_347_short_block_fast_ford_formula_part_2mmfp_1001_02_o+fast_ford_formula+347_stroker_short_block.jpgTrue

When it comes to modifying your 5.0L Mustang, there are several routes you can take to improve performance. They include increased displacement, basic bolt-ons, boost, and, of course, nitrous oxide. Only your bank account will determine whether these avenues are explored alone or in tandem.inline_mediumwraptextrightDemon Engines supplied a 347 stroker kit that included a 3.4-inch steel stroker crank, 5.4-inch forged rods, and 4.030 forged (flat-top) pistons from Probe Racing.26712082/tech/mmfp_0912_demon_347_short_block_cylinder_assemblymmfp_0912_02_+demon_347_short_block_assembly+347_stroker_kit.jpgTrue
