416 stroker ???

abodyjoe said

been thinking about going 408 since my motor is apart. actually thought 416 also because i have a standard bore 340 in the shed that needs a rotating assembly.... still undecided though.. there is a guy with a 416 on my site and he loves it. he is at like 10.80's in a duster with it...


what do you guys think of the scat kit... its like 1100 and change with cast crank, forged pistons, rods,bearings and rings ? heard good things about them from a couple guys but i have no idea. there are too many choices out there.

Joe,if your thinking about stroking it 'do it"..i'am so glad i stroked my 340 i was just going to rebuild it,but after talking to Chuck at Best Machine he convinced me to stroke it,i have a smile:-D every time i run it down the track,when i built mine i bought each component seperately,but theres so many kits out there now you really have a good choice to choose from,i'm also running a "cast crank" which is doing just fine,pistons were expensive though...in the end it was well the money i spent,i'm trying to locate a good 340 block to do a another stroker,but a little different this time...:-D
