Question on stroker ...
And no dirty comments :D
I know the theory and physics behind a stroker motor.
What I'm curious about is with the stock block is it simply a matter of putting in a different crank? is there enough room for the piston heads/clearance for the rods in a stock block?
I know it depends on how radical the stroke I guess... Just curious.
thanks.

Re: Question on stroker ... (yellow01)
You will also need different pistons that have the upper pin located higher for the stroker crank. Otherwise the stock pistons with the lower wrist pin and the stroker crank will put the pistons through the heads. Depending on the block and the stroke, the block may have to be "relieved" which is removing internal metal to clearance the new rotating assembley. In extreme cases, cams with smaller base circles have to be used to keep the cam from getting hit by the crank.
