You really think $5500.00 is expensive for a complete Stroker built by a well know Machinist that's been in the business of racing engines for over 35 yrs?... I know where it can be skeptical, if one didn't know anything of the purchase, but when I heard who built it, why it was selling, and saw the car it was intended for, and saw that it cost half my modified build of the 340 that was currently in my car, I just had to jump on it. I'll find out in the next few months how this motor behaves, I know there's risk, but for the price and background knowledge of why it was for sale and who built it, it was worth the risk to me. Should be dropping it in, by mid April
