The rod ratio on the 392 engine is no better than the other stroker 351W engines so this is no reason to build one of these. We have plenty of the 408, 418 and the 427[in an after market block] on the road with more than 30 to 40 thousand miles on them. The pin does not go into the
oil ring and the piston is nice design. The 454 BB Chevy had a worse rod ratio than any of these 351W engines and look how many of those are on the road. We can build any combiantion you want at one of the best prices you will find. We do a 408 crate engine for about 5600.00 that has stock block,cast steel crank, H-beam rods, new forged pistons, hydraulic roller camshaft, Ford Racing double roller timing set, stock front cover and
oil pan, melling
oil pump and oil pump drive, Ford racing hydraulic roller lifters, Comp Cams pushrods, Edelbrock Victor JR heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake assembled. Just install distributor, carburetor, valve covers and water pump and you are ready. This is the best bang for the buck ou there. 500HP and 500ft/bls torque. Check it out you won't be disappointed.
