Is it worth the $ to build a 5.9 Magnum (or LA 360) without making it a stroker?

Yes you are complaining, and $700 dollars is nothing when dealing with the caliber of engines you surround yourself with. You know yourself the only thing smart about a stroker is the re-sale value 'cuz everyone wants one. And from the outside looking in you seem to be a wheeler-dealer. J.Rob

LOL, Ok you got me. I was complaining BUT in the machinists defense the work he performed on the quality of product I supplied was well worth the 700.00
I am a hoarder so any engine that I build at this point of my life is NEVER for sale. Wait till you see the next project I start after I finish the install of my 572. Short preview. .040 over bushed lifter 360 block, stock 360 crank cut to chevy size, diamond pistons, crower rods, nice roller cam, roller lifters, ATI damper, and a few other goodies. 9 second engine combo short block in pieces for around 1000.00 investment. Nice little back-up engine to have sitting ready on a stand with a set of my 2.05 intake valve Edelbrock heads and Victor intake.
