Reply to "408 Stroker Life Expectancy"

Astephens (Guest)

George,
I'm thinking about going with a Scat rotating assembly for the 408 stroker. If I go that route, the things I can think of that I would like to re-use would be the hydraulic roller cam and lifters, the block, the distributor drive gear that looks good, and the timing chain/gear. These parts only have 13,000 miles on them. I suppose I should replace the oil pump since metal made its way to the pan?

Thanks,
Art

If the thing is assembled very cautiously, if the motor is not in too wild a state of tune, if the best parts go into its assembly, if the reciprocating assembly is dynamically balanced, if the ignition & fuel system are calibrated properly on a dyno, a motor can last a very long time.

The question you may not have thought of, how over-stressed are the parts you plan to re-use? How close are they to failing already?
