Default Stroke & Compression Ratio

Craig:
It appears that a lot of people on this forum stroke their engines, as you have endorsed.
What sort of petrol do you have in Aus, I wouldn't mind running 9.7 - 10.1 comp, the petrol here varies a bit, but I think with alloy heads I should get away with it, and for a bit of racing give it some nice "Green leaded spirit"

Another debate I have an engine builder who does a lot of the Ford sprint car engines here, charges about NZ$3K. so I am thinking why dont I get a good machining outfit to do the Block and clearance the stroker kit, and all the rest is bolt on, like good AFR Heads which are good out of the box. Having said all that I am a mechanic with limited experience with engines, sometimes its better to leave it to the experts.

Probe have premium stroker/engine parts, nice shaft mount rockers in pairs etc.

Food for thought - Ant
