school me on stroker smallblocks
I normally avoid these threads like the plague, (just like I avoid externally balanced motors with long strokes, YIKES) but I will say something here, just to save some machinists some grief in dealing with some of our members.
Moper mentioned the cost of balancing will vary depending on the shop, a much bigger cost variable is the quality/compatibility of the components you hand that shop in the first place. I'm sure Moper knows this, just forgot to mention it.
