Since Strokers are the topic......

In the restoration part of this forum I'm going through all of this in my 74 dream truck...
First the scat balance stroker kit I went ahead and got the forged pistons instead of the cast. You never know what the future may bring LOL Summit has them both... $1,400 for one or $1,550 for the other I spent the extra $150...
Of course I started with a 360 block instead of a 318. Years ago when I wanted to do a 318 and the Pistons actually cost $150 more because they weren't as common as the 360 and that 360 block core was 150 bucks so at that point it was a no-brainer to get the extra cubic inches for free.. prices may have changed...
As far as the transfer case I did the JB fabrication twin sticks in my 205 giving 7-way capability... My son has a 76 Power Wagon and I would like to do the two wheel drive option because of the all-time four-wheel drive...

Again all the pictures could be seen in my build thread and the restoration part of the Forum...

Oh, that’s why he’s seeing less piston selection… it’s 318 based.

that makes sense.

And good point about taking 3 steps backs and looking at the Total Cost. If it’s $250 more for a 318 forged piston kit than a 360 cast piston kit… think about finding a $250 local core 360. If you only find $600 cores locally, then forget it.
