I have a 2002 3.0L and I want to build an engine for it and I figure I would just stay with the 3.0L engine and saw that they make a stroker kit. But i aint going to pay 2,000 for the bottom end. The crank is cast steel and forged pistons and rods. I was wondering if anyone know what the part numbers are for them. Cause i know the rods are scat but do not know the part number and who makes the crankshaft and pistons. Thanks.

 

Just swap in a 5.0, your wasting your time.

 

Get a sports car?

 

not to sound rude.. why would you build a 3.slow?

 

Haha please... I don't know for sure, but I doubt the pistons are forged. My stock pistons that were in my 4G63T werent even forged (just the rods were).

2000$ for a bottom end is nothing. My HKS 4G63T Internals were 7000$.

If you need parts go to a junk yard. The 3.0 is an OLD engine, parts are available everywhere.

 

Here is my "STROKER KIT" i got for my Ranger... It's on the left.... It's a 4.6 stroker... haha

 

its simply not worth the time and money... but with that time and probably with less money you could swap in a good 5.0 like trent said... and you can get much better gains and still add more aftermarket parts and make tons more power than any 3.0 could

 

im with the 3.0. id love to build a 3.0 for my ranger. its being a non-conformist that counts!

 

I constantly wish I had a better performing engine in the truck. The last thing I would do is that 5.0 swap, even know it is common. Going with a fully built Turbo 2.3 is a great choice, because it can give you monster torque, and better mileage than the 3.0 does.

 

x2.

IIRC Morona Racing makes/made a stroker kit for the 3.0L, i'm not positive on that though.

 

I would do it just to be different.

Can't help you on part #s though.
