These are all just thoughts going through my head before spring arrives and I can actually work on the car.
So first... the block. If I purchased one of these stroker kits from say 440 Source the crank is already ground. Do I need to do any machining on the block at all?
Then the heads... let's just say due to funds or what have you, would the stock 400 heads work in a pinch? Do I need new rocker arms, push rods ect?
Cam? Is there a proper cam to use in the stroker engine?
What is the standard cost of building this 451? Can this be done for about 4-5K?
Also if someone has done this before, and successfully built a reliable motor. What parts did you use? I just may copy you. Lol.
Thanks!
