I'm not doing this for top end, this is for my truck and I'm going for more bottom end torque than anything else which is why the longer stroke, I do like the Mopar setup but will need to get bigger injectors to support it however depending on which way my finances go I may go with the 408 but needless to say and I still have to deal with the PCM as it is different than non PCM, I understand and respect all replies, comments and advises that you all have and it will help me with decisions on which way I will go. I am dealing with Hughes Engines and also going to check out a few places the do PCM programming and see what my options are

When I was looking at parts for my engine build I found some pretty bad reviews which made me stay away. I'm not saying they are bad just I don't want to take a chance lol

Hi I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 and I'm going to be rebuilding my 5.9L Magnum 360 into a 426 Stroker and would like to know if there is a PCM mod for this or would the stock PCM accept the motor just fine. I know 96 and up being OBD2 have flash mods for it however this is a 95 and OBD1

New member here saying hello. So I too am contemplating the 426 stroker kit because its flat out cool. My pro street Dakota 1995 will have a tunnel ram and 2 Edelbrock carbs. Im gonna mildly port and polish some new Chinese EQ heads with the LA intake bolt pattern. I realize the 426 stroker is not recommended for nitrous which is a little bummer. The BluePrint 408 assembled shortblock would be fine for me. What are members with 1995 era 2wd Dakotas using for an extra capacity oil pan and windage tray for stroker magnums?
