Reply to "How long to stroke a 9.2 deck block?"

Like you, I thought long and hard before rebuilding my Cleveland. I finally decided on the 408 and went with the Scat stroker. Details and build specs here:

The engine was flawless. Over 520 hp with 511 ft lbs of torque. Lots of performance and yet gentle enough to putter around town in traffic.

In 16 years of hard driving it never failed to start, never overheated and never stalled!

That’s about 100,000 miles of exciting, reliable performance. During those years I regularly went on long road trips in all weather conditions - Rocky Mountains to Death Valley Deserts. Over the years I rebuilt the carb once or twice, changed the Fluidyne once and changed the plugs and fluids every year or so.

But I never touched the engine again. Not once.
