Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?
I figured I'd update this.
Long story short... I didn't go with the stroker, but I blew my budget anyway.
We came to the conclusion that for an engine what will potentially see plenty of service it would be wiser to put the money into new heads and stay a stock stroke crank.
We tossed around the idea of using the EQ heads in order to inherently get the Magnum engine's 1.6:1 ratio rocker arms while flowing about as much air as the Indy heads.
In the end, I decided to keep the LA block with LA heads and use the Indy heads with new PRW rockers, which in my mind would get the most out of the XE268H cam.
The outcome should hopefully be an engine that pulls plenty of vacuum for power disc brakes, has a nice idle for daily use, provides plenty of torque and horsepower, and see 10's of thousands of miles because eventually this will probably be my son's daily driver for awhile.
The car is still in the body shop, engine is still at IMM, a set of Doug's Headers have been ordered, 4 speed transmission has already been rebuilt, and now I'm just trying to pick up remaining odds and ends.
One of the next major components is trying to decide on a clutch. From the research I've doe, diaphragm clutches last longer than the Borg and Beck clutches, so I'm not sure if I want to go with a Centerforce II or a Centerforce Dual Friction.
That's where I'm at today. Thanks guys for the advise and help.
