That is a very old build. It was the hot thing at the time but those days are gone. Back when I wrote that article nobody made cheap stroker cranks. We had to offset grind factory cranks to get to 3.90 stroke. If you wanted more stroke you had to weld and grind. Manley had those killer rods but they discontinued them years ago. The RAS rocker arms were a steal back then but like the rods they are also long gone.
Not to derail, and may be of help to the OP but, since the favorite RAS 1.6 rockers are gone (or have been re-released, but are over $1K ?..) which rockers would you choose today for a build like this? Thanks.
