Just east of Jacksonville...

cool thats only about 2 hours from me. Are the D9 blocks better than the production/stock blocks?

Cylinders are a little longer than the earlier (C8, C9, Dove, D1, etc.) blocks. Strength wise, no difference, but the longer cylinders are nice for a stroker build.

Is that the only difference? Deck height and everything else is the same?

That's the only difference I am aware of.

Would there be any other machining that would need to be done to the block for a stroker?

No, this isn't a BBC block it's a Ford 460 block. 4.500" stroke will work fine without any grinding.

cool thanks! PM Sent!

D9's need an External Balanced Crank and the hatchat weight.

R_Williams, Where are you located? I'm near Raleigh.

Dont most stroker kits now use the externally balanced crankshafts that will fit in the D9? Im just outside of Fayetteville..........

I don't believe that is the case with the aftermarket cranks. At least not in my experience.

I was researching the D9s on here and it says that pretty much everybody is making cranks that are compatible with these blocks nowadays

Good deal then. Just wanted to make you aware of a possible issue with cranks in a D9 block.

Thanks man, I came across a deal I just couldnt refuse today............ Heres what I got:

a fully machined D1 block bored 030 over (just needs cam bearings and freeze plugs)
a seperate complete D1 460 motor with D3 heads and everything I need to rape for the other other motor
a spare 3.85 crankshaft
a complete C6 trans
a complete 289 motor
a complete fordomatic trans

all for $500

as long as you use an internally balanced crank the block doesnt know. correct?

Internally balanced rotating assembly's can be fitted to D9 blocks. A lot of grind and fit, but worth the effort.

The OEM passenger car internal balance crankshafts are not a drop-in deal with the D9TE block.
