The ace i have in the hole is i have a good friend that has ported heads for yrs & worked for a mopar shop that builds hemi alot so the head work & intake port work will cost less than half of what it would cost. And he plans on running a solid roller cam set up will keep you all posted as to how it turns out.

67 coronetman: dragula is right as far as paying the piper, no free lunch, lol. if you compare the cost and work involved to get it through heads or cam (i had hours in clearencing the pushrod holes for the hyd roller) to the cost of a stroker crank and balancing, the crank is the way to go. i had my bottom end when i started the build so i used what i had . i did as much of the complete project myself as i could (it took me 9 years) so cost was a big factor and since it was going to be mainly a street car whatever hp it made was ok with me. that being said if i was doing it again i would go stroker and sell the standard crank and would make more power at a slight increase in price. dave
