Tore 440 down and sent block and crank to machine shop for inspection. They called and informed me block needs bored .030 and the crank has already been turned .010/.010 Anyway seeing how I will now basically need a rotating assembly I need some direction. The car will be used for street/cruise ins and is a 4 speed 373 rear axle with six barrel set up and has 516 closed chamber heads. Buying a stock crank, rods, pistons-rings and bearings puts the cost within $500 of a stroker kit. I don't want to change heads, so my question is using the 516 heads what kit and piston type should I be looking at or should I just go back stock. Before pulling the engine the performance was satisfactory for me, so I am not looking to build something radical.
