Stroker Block Questions

A hand grinder will take care of the block notching for you. Just do it and then clean it out before you assemble your motor.

.060" MINIMUM on the block clearance. .080" MAXIMUM Then tear her apart, clean the shyt outta her, put her back together!

Watch the cam lobe clearances too. You'll see what I mean when you put it together. Big Nasty cam lobes hanging down, whilst big nasty crank lobes are pointing UP, could be a problem. Watch the rods here, rod BOLTS down below. Watch the bottom of the pistons at the bottom of the stroke too, they are SOOOOOO close to the crank throws, it's not even funny. Kinda scary actually. When ya put all the big nasty shyt in a small block, it get's REALLY close all the way around. Watch for stupid stuff, things you never thought would hit, ARE GONNA.

Don't be scared. Noones lookin. Stroke it.

We'll help you out along the way bro, just build the darn thing.

If you build it, they will come!

When comparing 2 engines that are identical, with the exception of 16 more cubes via stroke, the bigger one will make more power. Of course compression height is going to change if you were to use the same rod for each, but going from 1.100 to 1.175 would make no noticeable difference. The HP gain would be strictly from more cubes.

1 STROKE cube is worth 2 in the bore.
