Ford Racing takes the 302-based stroker to the max with the 500hp Z363 crate engine: M-6007-Z363FT (front sump), M-6007-Z363RT (rear sump); retail price for either is $8,595.
By taking the bore out to 4.125-inch, the displacement of the popular 347 stroker has been increased to 363 ci. Combined with an improved Mahle piston, the Z363 makes 50 more horsepower and 50 lb-ft of torque more than the Z347 that it replaces. Components include forged crankshaft, forged I-beam connecting rods with floating piston pins, and a high-performance oiling system. Built with the BOSS 302 block and Z304D aluminum heads, Z363 was built with a 289 or 302 8.2-inch deck height block. Ford Racing Engineers designed Z363 to work both on the street and the strip with strong torque curve that delivers over 390 lb-ft from 3,500- to the 6,500-rpm redline. With a compression ratio of 10.0:1, Z363 runs on unleaded premium pump gas.
