My options are pretty wide open. I have a 440 block with a forged crank, stock rods, and some decent pistons...but I am also considering a 440-Source stroker kit. Are the RPM’s overkill for a mild build? It just seemed like a really good deal, and I am wondering if I might be able to “grow” into them later. 😉 [/quote]

if youre considering a Source kit, i'd look at better rods. Rods are the most stressed part of any motor, why anyone would go cheap on rods is beyond me. When they fail, the damage is 20 x more than the money saved buying the cheap rubbish. I have personally seen 3x rod failures of Source rods, plus there have been a few on Facebook posts. Spend the money where it counts & sleep easier.
