Stroker build, cam and piston question

[OneCleanE30]

Hey guys, I'm building up my M20B27. I plan on canning and boreing it. I was wondering how the 280/274 cam is? I want it to be pretty mean. I also read somewhere I can use ford piston from a mustang, I would need to bore it. Can I use them? And what rods would I need? How would this setup run? And how much power do you think I would be getting? Thanks guys!

I've never heard of anyone using mustang pistons. If you're talking about 302 pistons there's not a chance of those working. The bore on that engine is 4" which is WAY too big for the M20. If you want to build a stroker you can bore 1mm over and buy custom Ross Racing pistons from Ireland Engineering. Combine those with your Eta crank and some 135mm rods and you'll have a nice little 2.8L M20. I'd go for around 10:1 compression and a 274 cam. Rods can be from a M20B25 or upgrade to S52 rods.

consider how you will get it tuned. it will not turn out well if you do not deal with this aspect.

I was mistaken when I said 302. But it was some ford pistons, I'll have to find it again. What would be the power output on the setup you said?

with stock head 180whp, ported nudging 200, with proper intake 220whp how deep are your pockets....???
