Small block strokers. Your findings.

i am in the process of putting a 340-416 together , i used diamond dished pistons , 4340 k1 crank and rods , 252-260 at 50 comp cam , i bought a set of 360-1 heads from shady dell with there stage one porting (308 at 650 lift), t d rockers (1.7 intake ,1.6 exhaust) 850 double pump and 360-3r intake. it has really went together good so far with just a little grinding in the bottom of the cylinders .

i might have went over board on parts but i was wanting a good reliable engine , that ran strong. i would also like to add that i think you might be able to build a base 408-416 for 3 thousand but with the kit i got balanced (with mallory), rod bearing clearenced , rings , bearings , arp 2000 rod bolts .
i dont see 3000 going very far in my build.
