Stumps 311 Posted January 26, 2014 Has anybody got any information on the 260X stroker kits that XRGlen from the Hotsixes forum as developing? It looks like it could be a pretty sweet setup but all the info on that forum is over a year old and I don't have any contact details for XRGlen to find out more.

slydog 7,873 Posted January 26, 2014 Because he is full of shit and is no where to be found.Quickest NAT ASP Xflow around is Mossy's 250 cube weber powered Corty that runs 11.1 @ 119mph.Why spend useless money on a guy who if he replies will steal your money and lie to you? Ask people on here how we know... Otherwise be smart and ask for help on here and go faster or try to deal with Glenn...your choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha ha I heard someone on the other forum saying how good these kits are and they bagged everyone for coming over to this forum. Good to see a bit of rivalry fellas. I can't argue with anything that I have heard on here, has been a wealth of knowledge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted January 26, 2014 When a 260 stroker kit runs better then 11.1 @ 119mph NAT ASP we will listen...nuf said 6 wagoon, ando76, XFGHIA747 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumps 311 Posted January 26, 2014 hmmm been a long while since I was on the forums...must have missed something. Saw the 260X thread on hotsixes.com but couldn't ask due to the shitty registration process, been three days and no response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted January 26, 2014 If you want a good engine combo ask here. I did and with the help of members, my setup is going to far exceed what I was thinking I could achieve. No bullshit this would have to be the most helpful and friendly car forum I have used and there have been a few. 4 XTREME KARTS XF, PH351, slydog and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted January 26, 2014 Well said bro...has anyone on any of the other forums traveled From Cairns to Wagga to help out with a 6cyl build before??? I know Ando did for me...how doe's it get better than that? And your combo is going hammer bro...gunna scare ALOT of people with that roller cammed 250 for sure.

wagoon 2,429 Posted January 26, 2014 the engines going to scare me just as much as others Sly I think the one thread that captures the knowledge of members and willingness to share is the crossflow porting results thread. How many forums can say they have someone doing flow work and posting the results for FREE 3 Ando81, slydog and Clevo120Y reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XPT 673 Posted January 27, 2014 Just a question, why would you stroke an already very under square engine? 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted January 27, 2014 Just a question, why would you stroke an already very under square engine? So you can then convince unsuspecting customers that it's the path to performance. I don't know why everyone else doesn't do it... Must be the world's best kept secret. All those engineers must have been wrong all along. 2 XPT and slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FORD_MAN 1,026 Posted January 27, 2014 as for stroke to bore ratio it is the equivalent to giving a standard 250(3.91") a 3.70" bore (0.020" over bore) being 3.74"(0.060" overbore) and 3.95" stroke (0.040" offset grind)=260ci, to gain maybe 8hp and 12ft/lb at a lager expense, so It won't really help it rev harder as he says it will and money could be better spent else where on the engine. like a roller cam/better conrods/extractors/exhaust/or more headwork and if the crank may need to be replaced if it needs to be reground later on, because you'll have a hard time to find a 0.050"/0.060" undersize con rod bearing. so you'll be back at square one with a standard crank that needs to be offset ground $$$. and a block to replace or re sleeve it's once worn. 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wagoon 2,429 Posted January 27, 2014 My roller cammed 250 when the previous owner had it made 347fwhp and ran 11.5 in a 1210kg cortina. This was on pump fuel and not revved over 6200rpm. Funnily enough the person mentioned in OP swore by four barrel carbies as the best thing for crossys but with my above engine, the previous owner could only manage a best of 11.8 with a four barrel carby OOOOOOPPSSSSSS 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted January 27, 2014 not to mention that it did it with a dual pattern cam which also don't work according to that person. fastest x-flows in the land are not strokers - is that not enough for people. I would never stroke a x-flow - 200 rods in high revving applications yes - but never more than that - it's just not needed. 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted January 27, 2014 Ohhhhhhh doe's mine need long rods then Ando? I might rev mine a bit P.S Yes laughed when I seen the "experimental do not exceed 7200RPM" changing to that pan gasket the other day. 2 XES and Thom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted January 27, 2014 Had forgotten about that little one. tee hee. I'm sure that the rods and pistons you have will be up to that piston speed, mind you acl race series would have also done it - but I know how much you love them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clevo120Y 815 Posted March 16, 2014 I also would never bother stroking a crossy, if anything I would consider destroking a small amount to gain rpm and lower piston speed, even then I probably wouldn't bother unless someone else was paying for me to experiment LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
