Default Stroker Time

I've been looking at strokers for years and was always thinking of getting a 383 to replace my 327. The stories about the torque increase sounded like fun. well, a couple of months ago, i was out for a drive and my fan belt came off. I pulled over and noticed my balancer was loose. Towed home and pulled the balancer off to see the key was missing and it had elongated the crank slot. Only 9,000 miles on her but it made me think it was time to get a stroker. Like i said, i have been looking for a long time. I decided to go with Skip White Performance out of Tennessee and ended up with a 427 stroker. Mand what a ride. 568hp and 575tq.

Waiting to be shipped

finally, here

Out with the old, in with the new

Let's start this monster up

Let's go find a Tesla!!!!

200 miles and I'm still alive! I think I was safer in Afghanistan in bad weather low on fuel!!!!!

I had to get rid of the single plan and put my dual plan off my 327. I already have a big block hood on it.
