What do you think of this stroker combo?!?

Sorry. I'll shut up.
My comment wasn't directed at you. I respect and value your opinions and comments.

the block is half the package. If some years are better than others and you have no engine, why not try to score a better year block?

I have a 73 short block waiting to be disassembled. I just thought that if the CL ad was for forged parts, it would be a good deal and save me some money that could be spent elsewhere on my build.
