You have a 4.9?
With the 232 bored over .030 it's only a 4.12, but it makes 241 HP. It's amazing how that little amount of displacement can increase the power and maintain the same stock compression.
I use the stock 4.0 rods and cam. The only things that changes is the crank and pistons. Pistons have to be dished out an extra 10cc to get the compression down to 8.8. Without dishing it makes 270 HP but the compression is 10:1 and premium is required.
Stroking the 258 was more expensive and costly than 232, but it's a lot more common. I might even have to have one remanufactured.
