Heres my "stock" stroke 360 combo,cost me under $5k and this is with port Edelbrock heads too: '77 360 block 30 over and decked
"stock" crank 10/10
eagle rods
speed pro pistons/rings 10.7 to1 comp.
Lunati .513/.533 "voodoo" hyd. cam
Edelbrock 65 cc slightly ported heads
Comp cam roller rockers
Edelbrock air gap intake
Quick fuel 850 carb..this combo has run a best 11.79 in my '70 "street" duster through full exhaust,full interior..no need for a stroker here..\\:D/\\:D/

Oh and as for the original question i wouldn't trust ANY crate(crap) motor!!!

Damn Stroked, sounds like it gets it !!!

I would just get Brian to build you a stout bottomend topped with the RHS heads.It,ll be better for you knowing who built it and whats done to it.Gives you piece of mind!Good luck!:read2:

I have to say I like what Brian does with the RHS heads. Seems like the cheapest Rotating assembly have been around $1195. Thats if I stroke it out to a 408. Like I said before though I don't know how it would do if I just got block cleaned and honed .30 and decked and a good rebuild kit, with a decent crank and a cam that the duration is around .292 and a 501 lift. My buddy says I would get power from the heads cam and intake... I appreaciate everybodys input

I have bought from blue print, I had alot of trouble with the engine plus real bad service from them when i reported issues that i had, they did replace the first 408, but it took 9 months to get it, the new 408 is in now and it seems to be good only time will tell, IMO shop around.

Thats what makes me leary of them. I read where a guy named CravnsCuda put one in his, but I never saw anything back about how it's doing. Seems like it's kinda a luck of the draw with them LOL

oh also I have learned this old saying to be true when it comes to parts for my car. " If it seems like a deal to good to be true, then it probly is!!
