[DeTomaso] To stroke or not to stroke

[Edward Comber]

Dan
I have a stroker kit in mine that sounds like the one you are looking at. At .030 over it is 393 CI. I beams etc. It is strong and lots of low end torque. I have about 5,000 miles on it and it runs great!! I have a .600 lift cam/hydraulic roller rocker set up and am very pleased with the performance. I have never had it on a Dyno but it lights up my 335/35's with no sweat and puts a mile wide smile on all that get a ride. I love it

For another grand or so I can get an Eagle stroker kit with I beam rods and such. This would take the Cleveland out to 393 cubes or so.> I don't know if it's good for the intended application, a good street / road car, low rpm torque and power.> Also, given the problems I've had with the valves and pistons making unauthorized contact, I don't think I want the pistons lifting any higher.> What do y'all think?> > Dan> Dan F.
