Our Stroker Build - Looking for comments good or bad!!

If the heads are fully ported - there should be a flow sheet with them. You nede that, and the volume to really pick a cam. I like the lower compression. It will keep fuel costs down and adds life to the block. I don't bother with girdles. Balance it right, run the caps, and run main studs and you're good until the top webbing gives out which is a crap shoot in terms of life span. The girdle doesn't help that. You may also want to use aluminum rods. Just watch the piston to head clearance if you're turning close to 7K.
