Forgive the stupid stroker kit question.

OK, now I will tell you the real story. First off trust no one. New parts are not always correct. Example, milodon windage tray that would not fit in side the rails of a new milodon oil pan! Witch side do you bend in to make it fit? Another example Oil pump. I bought a new Melling oil pump for my small block Mopar and found that three of the cover bolts bottomed out before contacting the cover plate. Had to re tap them! Now my scat rotating assembly. Scat part # 1-48035. Two grand $$$$$$. Three rods had to be resized on the big end. Ok not bad but then found ZERO main clearance. Thank heavens they sell OVER SIZE main bearings. And there is much more. Every one so far in this forum only talks about balancing but you need to reread over and over the post # 6 and # 7 above. Well there is many more things I could say but you get the idea. A real big thing is a Fantastic Machine Shop. I have been using the same shop since the early 70's as I used to build race motors tell I just got to damn old. If your machine shop sells the components for your motor take your block to them FIRST. Either or tell you what to get. Time and money now will save big money wasted and all the crying later.
