Need to call on my fellow mopar people for a question. I'm in the process of building a 78 360 block ( will be stroked) with xe284h cam 360 2.02 j heads with major port work and will be going in a first gen Dakota big stall big gear. Question is this is my first stroker I'm putting together, willing to spend around 1,300-1,800 for the kit and would like to run 93 octane any suggestions on where to purchase or which kit I should go with. I'm terrible with determining pistons for compression ratios, really could use some help thanks guys and gals What do you mean by big gear and big stall and what comp.. what will be your max rpm and is this 1/4 or 1/8 mile

Its hard to beat ones like Clegg or Shannon, both sell scat kits on ebay for a cast or forged balanced kit, you know your J heads are 68-72cc depending if they have ever been milled or have aftermarket valves. So compression ratio is simple to determine.

The one problem I keep finding with the kits is compression ratios, either you get a flat top or a really big dish (typically 20CC). I usually end up piecing them together with the parts I want, the kits don't really save you much anyhow unless you go with a 4.125 or 4.250 then BPE can save you money.
