Default Stroker Kit Questions

I found a 408 Stroker kit and i was wondering if it would be able to run it on pump gas. Also what would i have to change besides the rear end to support the power and everything?

yes you would, cubes don't really matter about the kind of gas you use... the factor on the type of gas you use if the compression ratio

Swap the tranny for a th350,400 or 200r4(overdrive) if you dont want to spend 4k for a built tranny and dont feel like replacing that 3-4k dollar tranny every other year. Rear end will be just fine because autos are a lot softer on things until you throw a transbreak into the mix. You'd want a 90/90 to "support" the air flow into the motor as well as a good set of heads. Heads are where its at, the rest of the motor is just a pump.
