    Even though the rods are new, are you going to have the big end checked? I bought some RPM's, and didn't, two were a tiny bit on the small side, ate some bearings!

    I was wondering, how does the price for getting your block done, compared to what Summit is selling those stroker blocks for? I've got 5 302's in my shop, but now I'm thinking it almost not worth it it send them out and have them done, Summit sells that block for less than $700.....

    dave now that you mention it i got 635 dollars in the block dam i should have got the 347 block from summit.but i was told it was only going to be $485 then when i went to pick it up the price shot up to 635 they forgot to add the price of the parts(cam bearings,freeze plugs and arp main bolts)but on the other hand i know what i had for a block.with the summit blocks you dont.and at this point all i would need to do is clearance the rods from the piston skirts.

    just remember it has to be shipped also so it looks like the prices are pretty close
