stroker kit, forged or not? i recently posted that i want a 396 stroker... but i dont know if i want forged or not? its quite a bit more and i bet its worth it, especially b ecause i want it to last several years and atleast 50k miles of daily driving and racing on the side.
well anyone is going to tell you, forged is always stronger. but it all depends, if your going to build it on a 4 bolt main and spray it, then you want a forged crank. if you are building a 2 bolt, you are ok with a cast. as for the pistons and rods definately get forged on those.
Overbuilt is the only way to go if you have the initial $$$ to do it...12 years ago I went with a Callies crank, Oliver 5.85" rods and JE pistons and have never looked back...I have 47,000 miles of drag racing and daily driving and it just keeps getting faster...Do it once, do it right...
