My little .2cents!!!
That's not probably help anybody now...but I was ordering a Shortblock (421 stroker sbc) before to read all the warning here on Racingjunk....I was afraid at first sight.....This guy was correct on all the email...I was sending allot of email and asking allot of question and always be polite on each one...
I was receive the Shorblock last week. Everything seem to look right...seem well machined, Rod clearance to block is allright....The only thing I can tell right now is the crating...Not well crated....but nothing is broken...
I will dissassemble the short block to verified all the clearance (cylinder to wall, between each rod, crankshaft endplay, and wit filler gauge all the bearing clearance....And will give you other spec....
