400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.

I thought all that was required was turning the counterweights down. Is there a reason you do it differently?

I'm guessing that Chrysler didn't always machine the 400 blocks exactly the same. Sometimes just cutting the counterweights down clears and sometimes you grind the block or the edge of the counter weights also. Supposedly some just do a major 45 degree bevel on the counterweights by number 4 and 8 cylinders and don't cut them all .120" in radius on the lathe like I do.
