Ok, so I finally did it. I bought a stroker kit for my 440! Even though I just rebuilt it with KB237, recon rods, new bearings across the board polished crank lined the block, you know usual.
But, lost a cam lobe and lifter with only 10 hours after break in. Ugh! Freakin' hydraulic flat tappet piece of sh#!
So, out came the motor to clean up the mess and decided to go hydraulic roller cam....well, then it turned into, you know,... the monster motor that got out of hand. I bought a non balanced stroker kit from mancini racing and now no longer need the crank, rods and pistons or bearings!
The crank and rods would make a killer stroker 383\400!
The forged crank with damper and rods are from a 72 dated 440. And, I'll throw in the bearings as they look great and a 6 bolt flexplate, if you need them. $250.
The pistons are KB237 .030 over that have moly rings, but I would suggest getting new rings even though they have only 10 hours of use on them. They come with pins and are in excellent condition! $150
Here's a link at summit for info on the pistons...

I will post some pics later tonight...
Of course, shipping this could get expensive specially the crank. Mother weights about 70lbs!
