| | | Stroker Kit.
My friend wants to put a 331 stoker kit in his mustang. He wants to use his current block to do it.
In your guys opinion, who has the best stroker kit for the money and how much does it cost?
ALSO, is there anything that he should know/expect that may surprise him?
Thanks, |

as for scat racing, i'm currently using a scat billet crank in the notch which constantly sees 8000+rpm, the tolerances on the scat crank when i got it were .0001 off. much better then dss   DSS

Every main bearing has a different wear pattern in this one and I had 3 bad rod bearings, shame is the motor doesn't look that old. The head studs must have been put in with a impact I can't even break them loose!
My Scat crank was the same, almost dead on and the consistency from journal to journal was perfect. |

Although im seeing alot of DSS bashing going on here, I cannot complain with there work. This is the second engine i have purchased from them. A 306 pro bullet for my wifes 95 Cobra and the 347 Super pro bullet for my 93 LX. I have nothing but good things to say about them and let me tell you, my engines take a hard beating and there still running as strong as they were the day i put them in. Just my two cents, mabey you ran across a screwed up engine. |
