THANK-YOU George.

Engineers like specifics and detail and you certainly fit the bill here. I have something concrete to work with.

After doing research and reading your advise, I have decided to up my budget to 7-8K. I will be going with the stroker you recommend. Pistons may be different depending on the over-bore and what pistons are available. I think my project bare block does not need to go 0.030 over to clean it up. I would like to keep it to no more than 0.015 over.

I will be going with roller rockers on a machined head.

For the head rework expense we have talked about many times, I am leaning to Edelbrock or AFD 2V alloy heads built-up by them. I must admit that AFD has me confused as they claim their 4V heads will work with the Blue Thunder intake manifold - I need to get this confusion straightened out. Another option is to go with the Blue Thunder dual plane and CHI 4V as you have suggested.

George, you did mention in the "AFD" discussion string that, in your opinion, before going to aluminum heads a stroker engine first then roller hydraulic cam second. Can I also get you specific recommendation for a roller hydraulic cam? So I thought it might be wise to go stroker, roller hydraulic cam, with my machined CC heads. If I still had the bucks I would go with the Alloy heads.


Yours
