Getting my 400 block back from machine shop soon or when this quarantine is over.
Originally planning to do a 451 but with my down time I have been looking at stroker kits. Eagle, Scat, and 440 Source all make a 500 ci stroker kit for the 400 block but all 3 companies use a piston that has an oil support rail.
With drag racing are oil support rails something to avoid and another thing to worry about going wrong? Sounds like they can turn on the piston (Some have the dimple where the pin hole is but does that really do anything??) and or collapse with the oil ring causing issues or serious damage.
The 500 stroker is same price at 440 source no matter which one you get but not sure about the support rail.
