nope, hoping the crank I have is fine and will reuse that. Only internal changes I plan on are slightly dished pistons to lower the CR

Also on most stroker set-ups the piston skirt will come out of the cylinder at BDC and 'wobble' which slightly rounds the bottom edge of the cylinder walls as well as scuff's the piston.

Would a pair of custom throttle body spacers make you feel better???

Actually thats the backing plate flange I told you I was going to make for the 14 bolt... They were supposed to be done last week but the machine went down. A few samples showed up monday. I was supposed to get to the machine shop today so I could tap them, Machine them for the register, and make sure they fit over the Factory tubing.... but like everything else, that fell through....

I hope the crank wasnt at fault, cause your truck is on callies site
edit- i just realized you dont have their crank, so your endorsement is still eligible as of now..
