pat bought other stuff he ended up not using (besides the rods), but in this engine he has new pistons and rods, stock crank, and then obv new bearings and all that crap. combo will be more than enough for what he’s doing. should be fast :tup: ---

That exlains everything, the engine pic is when u got it back from the machine shop. I never advocate a stroker crank for the sake of 33 cubes, especially when using a power adder. Buy that big cam ron was sellin w/240 of duration, you’ll be good to go:highfive: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-30ths-big-gay-winter-build/62242.md?page=7) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-30ths-big-gay-winter-build/62242.md?page=9)
