Reply to "COBRA JET: Unleashing The Performance Capabilities Of 351 Cleveland Engines With Open Chamber 4V Heads (Q Code)"

Okay for 9.215", I found 9.206" in George Reid's book "FORD 351 Cleveland Engine, How to build for max performance"....

For the moment I'm inquiring, I will certainly increase the engine displacement but when I look at the prices I see that the difference is low between rebuild my engine with a stroker kit myself or buy a new one.
If I rebuild the engine myself, it's the same for the heads, if I keep the original ones (4V Open chamber), the price of valves + dual springs + retainers + rockerarms + machine work + ... is only a very little sheaper than new complete aluminium heads.

If I rebuild myself, I look at the different possibilities and wanted to well understand why you recommend not to exceed 3.75"stroke while there are a lot of kits with 3.85 and even 4" stroke.

So, I think, I think .....
