Hi everyone, I’m in the process of building my first 360 and am debating on making it a 408 stroker. I will be using speed pro h116cp pistons 30 over & speedmaster h beam rods which are supposedly clearanced for a stroker. I have a stock crank ground 10 under (.003 current bearing clearance but align hone is being done & I don’t know if that will make this clearance larger/out of spec). I am considering getting the scat 9000 4” stroke crank. I have the summit 163318
balancer with removable weights. My questions are as follows
1: has anyone run these rods with a stroker crank?
2: if I get the scat crank will I need to get the assembly balanced? Supposedly the pistons and rods are weight matched from the factory (I would use the summit balancer without the additional weights)
3: given the oil clearance doesn’t increase can I run the stock crank with stock balancer & weighted torque converter setup -skip balancing
4: what would you do for a street engine? (Is it worth spending the extra money for a stroker)
