I already have a good 340 forged crank, so why spend $$ on a new crank? That is why I am not going the stroker route.
For the build, the block and the crank are the only parts I have to start with. I will look into different pistons & rods. As far as heads go, I don't have any right now so that is why I would go the Edelbrock route. If I could find a nice set of X heads, I would consider them also. I don't see too many of them around.
I think I'll stick w/ a hydraulic cam. I don't want to have to keep adjusting it. What do you think of the Comp Cam Magnum 280?
