Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?

I'm with flyfish on this one. Ok, for a (little more) scat crank and stroker pistons. So NOW anyone will tell you for a (little more) than restoring the old rods, scat I-beams. Your not going to put all these good expensive parts together with cheap bearings and rings are you? NO! for a (little more) good ones. NOW this must be internally balanced ? Only $200-250 labor plus malery - mine used near $100 worth (its expensive). NOW you must replace your externally balanced flywheel and harmonic balancer for internally balanced? NOW for a (little more) a true roller timing chane and gears? For a (little more) a high volume oil pump? NOW to protect this big investment for a (little more) an extra capacity oil pan? Oil pick up sold separately (I think you're getting the hang of it now!?) For a little bit more. NOW you do need gaskets and sealer to hold it together. hold the fort here! I'm putting the carriage before the horse. first we need to hot tank the block, deck the block, bore the block prepped with freeze plugs, cam bearings, and oil pump rod bushing. Now where was I ? oh yeah, you want the ARP bolts to hold the heads on this beast you're building ? when do I need to start on the heads and if the valves are seating properly, and the springs, and good lord knows what? this is just going to be a simple rebuild and make a stroker," no big deal!" lol ask me how I know !
