225 long rod stroker, HELP
I've been back and forth with the idea of milling a 225 and battle the pushrod lengths, squish clearance and other issues that come with milling so much off a motor. OR go with something I know even less about and that's doing a long rod stroker, 198 rods on a 225 crank in a 225 block with 2.2l pistons. I'm building my wife a 1965 Dart GT. The plan is to have a show and go tribute car to Cervical Cancer in honor of my wife. This will be a full interior, full body build, something she can scoot around in, turn heads, and possibly upset some Mudstains and Slomaros in the process. I already have an Offy 4bbl intake, Hooker Headers, and a 500 CFM Eddy carb. Which is more practical? Which would be more reliable, streetable setup? Transmission will stay the 904 with a shift kit and rear end will either be a 7.25 with 4.10 gears or upgraded to a 8.25 with a 3.55 gear. I've been getting input from a handful of guys out there info is limited. SlantSix.org is where I read about the long rod stroker. This is her baby and she's getting dirty on it.
