Two years ago I gave a friend a ride in my Tiger which has a 331 stroker engine. He was so impressed that 3 days later he went out and bought himself a Tiger. He wanted the exact same setup in his Tiger as I had in mine, so he had me buy all the same parts for his engine. He assembled the bottom end last year, but has since lost interest in the project. I have purchased the car and engine from him, but I’m going to restore the car back to the original stock 260, since I already have a hot rod. I am, therefore, selling a brand new 331 Ford stroker engine. In purchasing this engine I highly recommend interested parties come by and inspect all the parts prior to complete assembly to know exactly what they are getting.
Note: this is a full roller engine with almost all brand new parts, starting with a fully prepped Mexican 302 block, 331 stroker crank, CNC machined lightweight 4340 forged steel rods with indexed caps, Probe SRS lightweight forged pistons, Edelbrock roller cam, heads and intake manifold, hydraulic roller lifters, roller rockers, ARP bolts, etc., etc., etc. That’s $5200 just in engine parts alone. With this engine you can use your own original Tiger valve covers, oil pan, timing cover, water pump, distributor, headers, carb, etc. It all fits.
Along with the engine comes a modified 302 aluminum bellhousing and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. The bellhousing has been welded/reinforced, bead blasted and machined to fit the narrow eared toploader transmission that comes in Tigers. This bellhousing makes for a convenient drop-in setup for your Tiger. You can use your existing lever arm, throw-out bearing, dust cover, slave cylinder, rod and clip. You will, however, have to buy the 6 bolt clutch slave cylinder bracket and the larger O.D. input retainer housing for your toploader. The lightweight 157 tooth aluminum flywheel permits your engine to rev up and down much more easily and you can even use your original starter motor with it. This setup is another $580 in parts and labor.
A barely used Centerforce II clutch disc and pressure plate that came with the 260 is also included, which was way overkill for the stock 260. This combination costs $354 new and even the factory stickers are still on the pressure plate and clutch disc.
Here’s the build list:

There are other odds and end included that I have not listed. As you can see from all the parts listed, this engine is not for the faint hearted. This is a very nice setup and will make your Tiger really move. Edlebrock gets 384 HP out of this setup in 302. Now add another 29 cubic inches at more than one HP per CU IN and, well, you get the picture. There is well over $6000 in this package, not including shipping, handling charges and all the invested labor so far. You can have the whole package for $6000. If you have wanted to upgrade to a stroker this is a good opportunity to get a proven package.
