sell the truck and get one with a v8 in it, it will save you time and money.

x2. A stroker is time consuming and not very fun to do.

Do you drive your truck everyday or is it just a toy? If you drive it everyday, going to a stroker setup will be a long time consuming process and your truck will be out of commission for a while, so i wouldnt suggest it...

plus, as was stated earlier, your truck weight 3000lbs more than that stroker mustang does...

sooo true. I don't think it would be worth it for all the time and money you would spend. And you're not gonna run 9's with only a stroker kit.
