Cause a rotating assembly is about the same. I no you cant turn a sbc into 434 without getting a aftermarket block. How big can you go with a stock bbc. You can get a short block for about the same price. well almost the same price there is about a 500 to 700$ differnce. My goal is to have a motor that does not cost alot to run.


Tyson....BBC's have alot of torque stock great for transferring weight....but in the later years big inch small blacks are the rage....to be honest search some websites on the internet....I had searched almost a year b4 getting touch with the gentleman who built mine....John at Stroker Engine his website is www.strokerengine.com ...even if you want to ask him some questions John will try his best to answer them very inteigent chap he is :wink: :wink:
