400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.
I buolt a 440 short block with the open chamber quench dome KBs in the late 90s. It’s still on the stand. After all the blueprinting and matching to get all the pistons in the same spot in the block, I lost all interest in doing a set of heads to make them work properly. It’s still sitting on that stand.
I’m glad to see you doing it and communicating how much effort is reauired, because thatceffort would only be of value to you with your donated time. Otherwise the cheaper piston and iron head route includes thousands of extra machining and blueprinting costs- costs beyond the usual blueprinting... lol
Cant wait to see the result
