Even as we speak, I'm getting ready to leave the house and thrash on our other car to get it ready for FFW in Norwalk this weekend. Although it's a sportsman block, it's 333 cubes (331 that's .040" over instead of .030"), for the exact reasons listed above. That rod ratio thing just keeps popping up. If there were no truth to it, it would have died along time ago. For the second car, we have a 410 planned. Same reasoning. We could build a 427 for damn near the exact same cheddar, but we felt it's just not worth it. Of course we're after some speed, but we also have a budget, and can't afford to build another motor next year, or the year after.

Conversly, you do really get what you pay for. I would stay SOOOO far away from a $599 stroker kit. Well, unless I was making a cool mailbox post for out by the road.......

Think it through, build what you want, build it right, and build it ONCE.
