stroking a MKIV 2-bolt main?
Situation: Built a 454 several years back motor went into storage with what I now think was a ruptured mech. fuel pump (fuel in the oil)... so it sat like this for years.
motor has: Scat cast crank and 6.135 rods
SRP small dome pistons (around 9.5:1cr)
Dart Iron Eagle 308's
So... I KNOW I have to replace the bearings - freshen things up
however I was thinking of stroking this motor with a 4.25 or 4.375 crank
OR
keeping the stock stroke but replacing the Rods for some taller (6.535) BME's and maybe some tall dome pistons around 11-12:1 cr with a solid roller high lift cam and getting some head work done
what would you do???
car has a m-21 Muncie and a spooled 12 bolt w/ 4.88's. motor is a 2bolt main
".......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...
