496 Stroker
Ok so I dumped my 396 this weekend and picked up a 454 block bored to 4.310 and a set of JE Forged Flat top pistons for $600 bucks. The block is all ready to go along with 4 bolt studded mains. I Have stock heads with 98cc chambers and 2.065/1.720 valves. I would like to go to 2.190/1.880 valves on the heads. I plan on running a 4.250 stroke crankshaft and 6.385 rods to make a 496 stroker. So once again I am looking to build this motor for off road use and street looking for around 500/500 or more. Any help would be nice.
Cast or Forged, looking at a Eagle cast steel crank ESP-104564250 and some 5140 rods from Eagle ESP-6385B as well. What do you guys think

".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
