wrench 87 Nothing is drop in. Anyone would be foolish not to check all the parts going into anything, this includes, engine parts,trans parts, clutch assemblies, rearend parts, trims pieces, and brake components. Back spacing on wheels is another problem because the tires are not on the rims and after assembly, you have a rubbing problem. I got a stroker kit from Barry R. Rods,crank, pistons, rings and bearings. Basicly the kit is a drop in except for the piston rings and filing the end gaps to my specs. I got 2 sets of rod and main bearings and got the numbers a wanted for a shelby block (clearances). The bearing that came with the kit where 3/4 groove bearings, ones that came out where total grooves. Called Barry and was told no problem. Put togeather and motor ran great. Everything still needs to be checked before anything is installed in your car or on it. This will save alot of money and down time in the long run. Rick L.
