It begins again - 512 Stroker

As I said "it's what I got" & I'll let the next owner do the upgrades ie- aluminum heads, FITEC, MPI.
Sorry to hear of your bad luck w/purple sticks, I've used them on all my SB, B, RB builds except the slanty without problems. Although, admittedly, most were years ago and quality has taken a noticeable downturn over the last 10+yrs.
