Stroker or Not
X2. I went with the stroker because my 340 crank had issues. (Plus, it was a 73 cast crank anyhow, so I wasn't giving up anything "strengthwise"). I've done other brand strokers and this lil Mopar beats 'em hands down. I was looking at doing a bore on the block, so the cost difference on pistons was negligable. Had a bad rod (the reason for the bore and unhappy crank) so in went a set of "I" beams. So there was the base for a lightweight big arm engine. Might as well balance it. You know, a solid lifter cam base on some circle track profiles would really bring out the torque band on this bad boy.......
Yep, it adds up.
Your budget is 4K for both an engine rebuild AND a trans refreshing with a better converter?
