how reliable is the stroked 3.8 motor?

[jrmustangracer]

I was thinking about building a stroked 3.8 motor, and stroking it out to a 4.2/4.3, but what I was curious about was that I kno my 3.8 is super reliable, I was wondering does the 4.2/4.3 motor have the same relilability??

oh yea. the 4.2L should last along time.

Supersix built my 4.3L and it's lasted me 6+yrs and that's WITH a supercharger, h/i/c and the whole nine yards. Granted, I've been hit with tons of drivetrain problems so I haven't beat on it too bad, but given the reliability of my engine I don't see why a N/A 4.3L engine couldn't last a very very long time.

www.supersixmotorsports.com has some good information worth checking out. Tom Y is a great guy to deal with.
