A stroker 408 build?
Get yourself a " How to build big inch Mopar small blocks" book. I found a copy on e-bay, # 170029023047. It can answer a lot of questions you may have. There is also info on stroker kits you can buy from many speed shops. There isn't a lot of machine work needed unless uou go crazy with the heads and a set of Magnum heads work great on a stroker combo. toolmanmike
