I have mine installed and been driving since november put about 50-60 miles nice every weekend no major problems.

Some of minor problems they didn,t index the oil pump shaft correctly so i just move the number 1 locatation on the cap. Ya i know the lazy way out but it was cold out i could of reindexed the shaft but i wanted to get it fired in a hurry.
"Only get colded on long island"

The dipstick was hitting the crank but this could of been my fault b/c i bent the tube so it looked better

I didn't like the spark plug they recommened too cold imo. So i just went out and pruchased a hotter plug from a local parts store.

So far no regrets nice price for what you get.

thanks for the input i am lookin at the short block as i have a 340 in the car now im told ill need a oil pan & motor mounts i have ebrock heads & intake msd ing system my fly wheel is nutreal balanced these chevy builders i have talked to around here scare me would cost alot more to build this is why im lookin for a short block aready have the parts from the 340

One thing I have noticed about most strokers is many are going with the cookie cutter budget strokers, this is backed up by the MM mag stroker shootout engine masters deal. Look at there numbers and the basic cookie cutter specs. But one still pulled 567hp I think.

Its no wonder 525-550 is the norm (more so the 525) and people seem happy with that....but these are still basic cookie cutter strokers.

575-625 can be done if you want to spend the money
