Stroke Me!!!
Get your mind outta the gutter.
At the crossroads here and need some input. I have a choice of just going with the blocks I have. Salt water exposed for apprx 8 years. Religiously flushed and appear in decent shape. Going with Dart 345 cc heads marinized and hardened exh seats. All and all for another $10K I can go with a new Dart block all new internals & pondering the thought of stroking it. Leaniing towards dependability cause I'm just getting too damn old to be doing this. Money is no object and I want naturally aspirated engines. Any thoughts on what stroke etc etc ? Stan |

Stan make your HP with cobuc inches, get a 572 or simmilar and build it mild, easier to make reliable power.... |
Re: Stroke Me!!!
What would be a "reliable" horspower range & the largest cube to go with ? Definetly going with a roller cam with a Dart single plaine intake manifold. With all of this it will definetly be dynoed.

Re: Stroke Me!!!
4.375 stroke, 6.735" rods, 1.27"cd, dart 345 heads, used an eldebrock victor insted of dart intake, just did a comp and the eldelbrock makes more tq and cheaper, spend savings at Wilson manifolds blueprinting intake, BLP carb, and crane hyd roller will make 750hp at 5500, good luck ,gg
