383 or 393
My set up is really similar to the chp, I have some other goodies, not listed. The bottom end is just parts swinging. It makes nothing with out a set of lungs. Heads are what make and break the engine building process. I spent money here..AFR, they were new then, I bought the biggest they had, which were 185cc, they make tremndous torque and good horsepower.
Using good quality componets make the most sense if you use stock parts use late model truck rods, with arp bolts. If the rod have been remaned make sure the c to c is correct and that they are all the same. also make sure the rods measure c to c on both sides the same.
Running cast pistons makes sense for most folks what rpm limits will you have if your running under 6500 cast pistons are ok. Stock rod are ok as long as you keep the compression ratio, down under 12.5:1 any high and you have a time bomb. As for cams I like mine a little to big for most, something in the high 230-240 range,@.50 hyd for a street motor, with a lift over 520 will give you tremendous power, tons of torque and years of fun. Make sure you buy good bearings and gaskets, and a high volume oil pump. Use a good quality shop, one that has a good reputation, and one that will show you everything you will need to do. You will need to have skills with a die grinder, or at least have the machine shop do the work.
Strokers require assembly and disassembly sometimes several times, so buy a extra set of cheap rod bearings, and rings,. The block will need to be cleaned after you fitting or mock stage.
Sorry to much info, I got carried away.I would buy a CHP or Power Kit...
