Hi guys
I’m thinking of getting a 347 stroker kit for my mighty small block the question is which one. I know that I want 5.315inch rod so there’s no pin interference with the oil ring. As I’m going to be using it for street and long halls with the occasional quarter jaunt should I go for hypereutectic or 4032 forged pistons. As for rings are file fit the go? Lastly who should get it from? I like the look of the DSS pro-lite kit and the Coast High Performance GT kit and even the Speed-O-Motive kit, but do I just say “dam’it” and get the $599 kit from Powerhouse. Any help. Also why is a CNC beam rod more expensive and what’s better about them.
