Finally !


I got the stroker back from the machine shop, it's been "next week" for the last 4 weeks, but Finally I got to bring it home.  We did change a couple things, we used the Scat crank, but went with Eagle rods, the are 70 grams lighter than the scat rods, and a little stronger, and a light weight harmonic balancer and flywheel,  I didn't weigh the dampener, but the flywheel weighs a little less than 25 pounds. They decked the block flush with the piston throw, machined the front of the block to get the two more bolt holes for the early model timing cover and inserted the pins, they sized the rings individually to each cylinder, balanced the rotaing assy, and assembled the short block.

I set the heads, exhaust manifolds,  and intake plenum on it for the pictures, realizing that the plenum intake won't clear the EMI ehaust ... Grrrr ... the only solution for that is to build a 1" spacer, raising the top half of the plenum to clear the starboard riser and cooling hose, thats about all the issue I'm going to tolerate with this injection system, one more issue and I'll sell it and put a carborator on this baby.
