I mean I've seen stroked 6s in MM&FF but for the cost it would be just easier to swap a V8 for th esame power with less issues

Okay; Anyone have a V8 that will hook up to everything in a V6 model?
Or know anyone who does?

how would stroking the stock engine make LESS issues than converting the car to an engine that didn't come in it?

Ok, so I know you are talking about my old Supra. And yes, for a car that there is no real convenient engine available that would be an improvement, more boost/stroking the engine is better.

But it's a fucking Mustang. The cheapest V-8s with the larget aftermarket EVER PRODUCED. There are smarter option that a stroked 6-cyinder. If making more power with less size is what you're after, get an import...domestics don't know how to do that.

Unless you're deadset on keeping the sixer, I'd look for a windsor based swap.
I have a buddy with a blown 4.2, its nice and all but for the amount he put in it a nice 3xx swap would have been better.
