If you need new pistons Id say its a no brainer to go stroker crank since you can reuse your rods. Whats the plans, I heard through the grape vine of a new project

Is that what that section of this site is called...the grapevine?
Every time I think I got my plans figured out I talk to stoichy and he makes me realize how ridiculous and ambitious I am.
I think I have a good idea of what direction I'm going now but I have to get my garage ready before I tackle the new project and I know how aggravating it probably got for Devin to keep hearing about how long his project took him so I won't start a thread until I know I can get it done in a few weeks time. Good news is I have most of what I'm gonna need for whatever I decide to do! I have a bulletproof drivetrain, plenty(too much) in go fast parts, and great starting platform w/ lots of extra's so I'm good.
You'll probably hear about about what I'm doing through the "grapevine" before I even start a thread anyways, which I'll need to do cuz I'm doing it myself this time, enough with bullshit work from bullshit shops.
You'll be happy to hear that I've resorted to getting lots of help from a guy who drives an oil burner!
