Forgive the stupid stroker kit question.

^^^This.....I also use Scat I-beams in my strokers, no clearanceing required. I'll add that Scat I-beams weigh less than H-beams, so if paired with light weight pistons the machine shop may not need heavy metal to balance, which saves quite a bit of $$$.
Depends on the cranckshaft counter weights chosen as well.
