The Ford V8 engine family tree has a lot of branches.

You’ve got the venerable Windsor small block, plus the 385-series and FE-series big block branches, along with a trio of 351 engines—the 351 Windsor, Cleveland, and Modified. We’re now into the overhead-cam Modular motors, which advanced the Ford V8 into the 21st century.

So, we thought it might be helpful to assemble a handy bore and stroke chart to help you understand common displacement configurations.

Then we’ll toss in a Ford stroker chart, so you can see some popular stroker combinations as well.
