docfe Doc Do yourself a favor and get a rotating assembly from either Barry R at Survivalmotorsports or KeithCraft Racing. You need the correct size of the bores so they can get you 8 custom pistons for the block. Have the assembly balanced. You will get a kit of crank shaft, rods, pistons, bearings, rings, and assembly lube for installing. IMO this is the BEST way to rebuild your motor. You have not said anything about the top end of this motor? What heads, camshaft,( this is the biggest decision),intake and carb or FI system. This motor with the stroker kit will make a good 500ft of torque with a mild cam in the .550" lift. Kieth Craft sells some custom hydro roller camshafts that make good power and give you that lumpy idle if you are looking for it. This will allow your motor to spin to a 6,500 rpm range. IMO I don't spin my stroker past 6,200 rpms. What trans and rearend ratio are you putting in this car. This also has a large effect on how the car will preform. It's IMPORTANT that your machinist know the in and out issues an FE motor has and improvements needed to extend the life of your motor.
