Hey Bernd,
I didn't know if you saw my response on the other post, but are you thinking about working up a stroker kit for the 318's? I've heard that Tom at KRC is working on his 318. If you do I may wait a while (and save some cash) an talk about it later.

Not sure yet... it will be at least 350 cubic inches or larger displacement...
Just think...I could say "Hey, I dropped a 350 in my Dakota!" Think that would unerve some people?
whatever stroke I do go with, it will be prepped for running a decent amount of boost...he he he!

use the same crank as the 406 with 30 over pistons and you have yourself a 390. Now that sounds sweet. I talked to Crower, Hughes engines, and Marty at KRC. This will work. Very nice setup. I can't wait till my truck is paid for. I already have changed and upgraded every part except for the CRank, Piston, and Rods. It should definitely be NASTY with my T-trim. HEHEEHEHE

Plan on having to get a set of custom pistons made if you want them forged... finding a set for a 5.2L or 3.9L has become very hard...

SLEEPER318 - you can go with the same stroke, but the mains are different...must go with 318/340 mains.

That's the one... the list retail price on it is $825.
That and .030 over pistons will give you the full 390 c.i.d.

Tom,
Sorry about the mix up...I really thought you were at KRC, my bad! Who's making your pistons? If the finished product turns out good...Will it turn into a Speedtweaks Kit. I think it would be a good product, since you all would have dibs on selling an entire kit.
Hey, us 318's need some "luvin" too.

I'm probably going to go with JE or Ross Pistons...maybe Arias...
If it isn't a total nightmare to do, a kit may be in order...
I might not go with that long of a stroke(4.00")... just depends... might go with a 3.60" stroke making it a 351... Remember, I plan on running a considerable amount of boost on this engine, too... ;-)

on a NA 390, what would you have to do to the fuel system? would bigger injectors alone be ok? and would the stock pcm know whats going on? if not what would you have to do to it?

Bigger injectors will help...plus a larger throttle body... I'd also go with a Mopar PCM or a custom flashed PCM... maybe a Hyperspeed(my first choice) or Split-Second box to help with the fuel management...
also an M1 intake and Mopar Performance RT heads...
