First stroker build – could use some expert advice

Also, another note on the 340 replacement block, had a buddy build one and then fought the drivers side motor mount for weeks, neither 318 or 340 factory will work. After many headaches, contacted MP for a 3rd time, turns out that you have to buy the "correct" mount from Schumacher. MP has no notes telling you this information that comes with the block. Just an FYI that you should inquire about at purchase. also had fitment issues with Dougs headers once the Schumacher mount was used. I would find a good "factory" 340 block and go that way myself, but be ware of the damned lifter bore issues.
