Motor's F'd up...so I'm building a stroker
Tear down of my motor showed #7 and #8 pistons were slamming the head. Rather than rebuilding, I decided to go with a 331.
I'm building this one myself to save $. The new motor has a Scat cast crank, 4340 I beam rods, Probe dish pistons, and billet main support. I was worried about using a cast crank, but everyone is saying it will outlive the stock block. It's costing me $600 more than a 306. It's mostly for a new 28 oz. balancer and flywheel. So $600 for 30+ hp? That's only $20 per hp, which is cheap hp. All the parts are in my garage waiting for assembly and I can barely wait to get it running. I had traction problems before...guess it will be worse now.
